The Story

It was introduced on September 4, 2003 and referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 4, 2004. The committee held a work session on February 11, 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 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 Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 25, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 22, 2004 the Senate rejected a motion to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On April 22, 2004 the Senate adopted “Question is on Section 1&3” on a voice vote. On April 22, 2004 the House adopted “Question is on Section 2” on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 22, 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. The governor signed it on May 7, 2004, making it Chapter 82 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2004.
