The Story

It was introduced on January 30, 2003 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 19, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0678). The committee's amendment (0678) was adopted on a voice vote on March 20, 2003, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (0895), offered by Sen. Martel, was adopted on a voice vote on March 20, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On March 20, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On March 20, 2003 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1046). The committee's amendment (1046) was adopted on a voice vote on April 3, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On April 3, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 3, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 30, 2003. The committee held a work session on May 7, 2003. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on May 20, 2003 and September 24, 2003. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 13–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 7, 2004 the House voted to pass it with changes. On April 29, 2004 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Prescott. The bill was enrolled on May 6, 2004 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 17, 2004, making it Chapter 102 of the session laws. It took effect on July 16, 2004.
