The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2003 and referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0863). The committee's amendment (0863) was adopted on a voice vote on March 27, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On March 27, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1099). The committee's amendment (1099) was adopted on a voice vote on April 10, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On April 10, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 10, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on April 10, 2003 and was referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 23, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 11–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on May 29, 2003. On May 29, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 5, 2003 the Senate adopted “Sen. Roberge Non Concur Requests Commitee of Conference” on a voice vote. On June 5, 2003 the House adopted “House Acceded to req for Conf Comm” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 10, 2003 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 24, 2003 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report” on a voice vote. On June 24, 2003 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 30, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2308) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 21, 2003, making it Chapter 307 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2003.
