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 13, 2004 and February 3, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 12, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On February 12, 2004 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 March 8, 2004. The committee held work sessions on March 31, 2004, April 6, 2004 and April 20, 2004. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 18–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 5, 2004 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 6, 2004 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Martel. The bill was enrolled on May 13, 2004 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1548) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage.
