The Story

It was introduced on September 4, 2003 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 21, 2004. The committee held a work session on February 17, 2004. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 11, 2004 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 11, 2004 and was referred to the Senate Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 24, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1086). The committee's amendment (1086) was adopted on a voice vote on April 15, 2004, changing the text of the bill. On April 15, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 15, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it. On April 29, 2004 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 6, 2004 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 17, 2004, making it Chapter 116 of the session laws. It took effect on May 17, 2004.
