The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 2004 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 15, 2004. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0113). The committee's amendment (0113) was adopted on a voice vote on January 22, 2004, changing the text of the bill. On January 22, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On January 22, 2004 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on January 22, 2004 and was referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 10, 2004. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes by a vote of 16–1, 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 reject the other chamber's changes, on a motion by Sen. Peterson. On May 13, 2004 the House adopted “House Acceded to req for Conf Comm” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on May 18, 2004 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On May 25, 2004 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report”. On May 25, 2004 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 25, 2004 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 11, 2004, making it Chapter 233 of the session laws. It took effect on June 11, 2004.
