The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2003 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 4, 2003. On February 20, 2003 the House adopted “Susp Rules for Feb 21 Work Sess” on a voice vote. The committee held work sessions on February 21, 2003 and March 6, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 17–2. On March 25, 2003 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 10, 2003 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On June 5, 2003 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee held a work session on November 5, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2465). The committee's amendment (2465) was adopted on a voice vote on January 7, 2004, changing the text of the bill. On January 7, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On January 7, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it. On April 22, 2004 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes. On May 6, 2004 the Senate adopted “Accede to House Request for Committee of Conference”, on a motion by Sen. Peterson. A committee of conference met on May 18, 2004 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On May 25, 2004 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. On May 25, 2004 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 25, 2004 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 11, 2004, making it Chapter 202 of the session laws. It took effect on August 10, 2004.
