The Story

It was introduced on January 30, 2003 and referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 20, 2003 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On March 6, 2003 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote. On March 6, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 6, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on March 13, 2003 and was referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held public hearings on April 1, 2003, April 2, 2003, May 14, 2003 and May 27, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 12–2, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On June 5, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes. On June 5, 2003 the Senate adopted “Sen. Boyce Concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 24, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 30, 2003, making it Chapter 205 of the session laws. It took effect on June 30, 2003.
