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 14, 2004. The committee held a work session on January 28, 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 17, 2004 and was referred to the Senate Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1096). On April 15, 2004 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On May 6, 2004 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (1096) was rejected on a voice vote on May 6, 2004. A floor amendment (1536), offered by Sen. Below, was adopted on a voice vote on May 6, 2004, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1517), offered by Sen. Sapareto, was rejected on a voice vote on May 6, 2004. On May 6, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 6, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it. On May 13, 2004 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On May 13, 2004 the Senate adopted “Accede to House Request for C of C”, on a motion by Sen. Johnson. A committee of conference met on May 18, 2004 and May 19, 2004 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On May 25, 2004 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On May 25, 2004 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 25, 2004 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1695) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 15, 2004, making it Chapter 243 of the session laws. It took effect on June 15, 2004.
