The Story

The committee held a public hearing on March 2, 2004. The committee held a work session on March 3, 2004. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 16–4. On March 17, 2004 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It was introduced on March 17, 2004 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 15, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 15, 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 — and an enrolled bill amendment (1293) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on May 7, 2004, making it Chapter 91 of the session laws. It took effect on July 6, 2004.
