The Story

It was introduced on March 9, 2005 and referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 29, 2005. On March 30, 2005 the House adopted “Susp Rules for Report & Action Deadlines” on a voice vote. The committee held work sessions on April 8, 2005 and April 11, 2005. The committee voted 12–8 to recommend that the House pass it with changes. On April 20, 2005 the House adopted “Reconsider” on a roll call 200–171. On April 20, 2005 the House failed “Reconsider Am{1204}” on a roll call 172–199. On April 20, 2005 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on April 21, 2005 and was referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 25, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1782). On June 8, 2005 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes. The committee's amendment (1782) was adopted on a voice vote on June 9, 2005, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1863), offered by Sen. Morse, was adopted on a voice vote on June 9, 2005, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1872), offered by Sen. Green, was rejected on a roll call 8–16 on June 9, 2005. A floor amendment (1889), offered by Sen. Barnes, was adopted on a roll call 14–10 on June 9, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On June 9, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 9, 2005 the Senate adopted “Reconsideration” on a voice vote. On June 9, 2005 the Senate took up 9 floor amendments. It adopted 1904 (Sen Green), and rejected 1898 (Sen. Green, 8–16), 1888 (Sen. Burling, 8–16), 1896 (Sen. Green, 8–16), 1868 (Sen. Hassan, 8–16), 1861 (Sen. Burling, 8–16), 1890 (Sen. D'Allesandro, 9–15), 1870 (Sen. Hassan, 8–16) and 1903 (Sen Roberge). On June 9, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 17–7 and ordered it to a third reading. On June 9, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. On June 15, 2005 the Senate adopted “Sen. Morse Accede to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 16, 2005, June 17, 2005, June 20, 2005, June 21, 2005 and June 22, 2005 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 29, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. On June 29, 2005 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report” on a roll call 198–172. The bill was enrolled on June 29, 2005 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 30, 2005, making it Chapter 176 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2005.
