The Story

It was introduced on September 4, 2003 and referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 6, 2004. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 29, 2004 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on February 12, 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 1429). The committee's amendment (1429) was adopted on a voice vote on May 6, 2004, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1535), offered by Sen. D'Allesandro, was adopted on a voice vote on May 6, 2004, changing the text of the bill. 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 25, 2004 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1674) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 15, 2004, making it Chapter 249 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2004.
