The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 2004 and referred to the Senate Public Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 28, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0515). The committee's amendment (0515) was adopted on a voice vote on March 4, 2004, changing the text of the bill. On March 4, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 4, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 30, 2004. The committee held a work session on April 6, 2004. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 16–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 22, 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. Roberge. 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 (1552) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage.
