The Story
It was introduced on September 4, 2003 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 6, 2004. The committee held a work session on January 13, 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 February 5, 2004 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 4, 2004 and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 31, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0994). The committee's amendment (0994) was adopted on a voice vote on April 8, 2004, changing the text of the bill. On April 8, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 8, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it. On April 22, 2004 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes. On May 6, 2004 the Senate adopted “Accede to House Request for Committee of Conference”, on a motion by Sen. D'Allesandro. A committee of conference met on May 17, 2004 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill.
