The Story
It was introduced on January 7, 2004 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 21, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 5, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On February 5, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on February 5, 2004 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 23, 2004. The committee held work sessions on March 30, 2004 and April 1, 2004. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 17–2, 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. Prescott.
