The Story

It was introduced on September 4, 2003 and referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 21, 2004. The committee held a work session on January 28, 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 February 19, 2004 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 4, 2004 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 24, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0993). The committee's amendment (0993) was adopted on a voice vote on April 8, 2004, changing the text of the bill.
