The Story
It was introduced on January 30, 2003 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 11, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0836). The committee's amendment (0836) 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 and ordered it to a third reading. On March 27, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 8, 2003. The committee held work sessions on April 15, 2003 and April 17, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 15–1. On May 8, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 29, 2003 the Senate adopted “Sen. Peterson Concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 5, 2003 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2017) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. It became law without the governor's signature on June 26, 2003, as Chapter 185. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
