The Story
It was introduced on September 4, 2003 and referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 2004. The committee held work sessions on January 20, 2004 and February 3, 2004. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 20–0, 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 Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 15, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 15, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on April 29, 2004 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1326) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on May 7, 2004, making it Chapter 80 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2004.
