The Story

It was introduced on September 4, 2003 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 4, 2004. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 12–1, 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 Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 6, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1105). The committee's amendment (1105) was adopted on a voice vote on May 6, 2004, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1537), offered by Sen. Gatsas, was rejected on a roll call 9–14 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 agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 20, 2004 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 1, 2004, making it Chapter 183 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2005.
