The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 2004 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 3, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0797). The committee's amendment (0797) was adopted on a voice vote on March 17, 2004, changing the text of the bill. On March 17, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 17, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on March 18, 2004 and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 30, 2004. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes unanimously, 14–0, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 15, 2004 the House voted to pass it with changes. On April 29, 2004 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Peterson.
