The Story
It was introduced on January 7, 2004 and referred to the Senate Public Institutions, Health and Human Services committee. The committee held public hearings on January 15, 2004 and February 3, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0643). The committee's amendment (0643) was rejected on a voice vote on March 11, 2004. On March 11, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it and ordered it to a third reading. On March 11, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on March 11, 2004 and was referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 6, 2004. The committee held a work session on April 13, 2004. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 9–3. On April 29, 2004 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 223–103. The bill was enrolled on May 5, 2004 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
