The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2003 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 5, 2003. The committee held a work session on March 18, 2003. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 14–1. 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 public hearings on April 22, 2003 and April 29, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On May 15, 2003 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it on a voice vote. On May 15, 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 2463). On January 7, 2004 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On January 29, 2004 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (2463) was rejected on a voice vote on January 29, 2004. A floor amendment (0253), offered by Sen. Foster, was adopted on a voice vote on January 29, 2004, changing the text of the bill. On January 29, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On January 29, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it. On March 11, 2004 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on March 18, 2004 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (0866) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on April 8, 2004 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on April 12, 2004, making it Chapter 25 of the session laws.
