The Story
It was introduced on January 7, 2004 and referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On January 29, 2004 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0536). On March 4, 2004 the Senate rejected a motion to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On March 4, 2004 the Senate voted to lay it on the table. On March 11, 2004 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (0536) was adopted on a voice vote on March 11, 2004, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (0759), offered by Sen. Gatsas, was adopted on a voice vote on March 11, 2004, changing the text of the bill.
