The Story

It was introduced on September 4, 2003 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 21, 2004.

On March 18, 2004 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 192–145. It crossed to the Senate on March 18, 2004 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 30, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On April 1, 2004 the Senate rejected a motion to lay it on the table. On April 1, 2004 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it on a voice vote. On April 1, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.
