The Story

It was introduced on March 23, 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 19–2 to recommend that the House pass it with changes. A floor amendment (1206), offered by Rep Wendelboe, was rejected on a voice vote on April 20, 2005. On April 20, 2005 the House rejected a motion to pass it with changes on a division vote 155–198. On April 20, 2005 the House adopted “Reconsider” on a division vote 213–150. On April 20, 2005 the House failed “Spec Order to 3:40” on a division vote 169–191. On April 20, 2005 the House rejected a motion to lay it on the table on a division vote 112–249. On April 20, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 195–171. 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 1794). On June 8, 2005 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes. The committee's amendment (1794) was adopted on a voice vote on June 9, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On June 9, 2005 the Senate took up 9 floor amendments. It adopted 1859 (Sen. Morse), 1850 (Sen. Estabrook), 1834 (Sen. D'Allesandro), 1809 (Sen. Boyce), 1902 (Sen. Barnes, 23–1), 1884 (Sen. D'Allesandro) and 1908 (Sen. Gatsas), and rejected 1858 (Sen. Estabrook, 12–12) and 1885 (Sen. D'Allesandro). On June 9, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. 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 194–179. The bill was enrolled on June 29, 2005 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2128) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 30, 2005, making it Chapter 177 of the session laws. It took effect on June 30, 2005.
