The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2003 and referred to the Senate Environment committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 29, 2003. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0206). On February 13, 2003 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0206). The committee's amendment (0206) was adopted on a voice vote on March 13, 2003, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (0688), offered by Sen. Prescott, was adopted on a voice vote on March 13, 2003, changing the text of the bill. On March 13, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On March 13, 2003 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 3, 2003 the Senate voted to pass it 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 Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 16, 2003. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on September 11, 2003 and October 2, 2003. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 9–7. On January 22, 2004 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 29, 2004 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Johnson. 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 101 of the session laws. It took effect on May 17, 2004.
