The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 2004 and referred to the Senate Wildlife and Recreation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 15, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0139). On January 29, 2004 the Senate adopted “Special Order to February 5, 2004”. The committee's amendment (0139) was adopted on a voice vote on February 5, 2004, changing the text of the bill. On February 5, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 11, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote 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 Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 24, 2004. The committee held a work session on March 31, 2004. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 13–2. On April 15, 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. Gallus. 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 107 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2005.
