The Story

It was introduced on January 30, 2003 and referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 19, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On March 13, 2003 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it on a voice vote. On March 13, 2003 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee held work sessions on November 13, 2003, November 25, 2003 and January 7, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On January 22, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0744). The committee's amendment (0744) was adopted on a voice vote on March 17, 2004, changing the text of the bill. On March 17, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 17, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it.
