The Story

It was introduced on December 1, 2004 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 12, 2005. The committee held work sessions on January 19, 2005 and February 2, 2005. The committee voted 16–2 to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 30, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 31, 2005 and was referred to the Senate Transportation and Interstate Cooperation committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 4, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1397). The committee's amendment (1397) was adopted on a voice vote on May 19, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On May 19, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 20, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. On June 8, 2005 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 15, 2005 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 30, 2005, making it Chapter 198 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2005.
