The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2005 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 26, 2005. The committee held work sessions on February 1, 2005, February 10, 2005, February 17, 2005 and February 24, 2005. The committee voted 17–1 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 Energy and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1404). The committee's amendment (1404) 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, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1681). On June 9, 2005 the Senate adopted “Commmittee Amendment” on a voice vote. On June 9, 2005 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On June 9, 2005 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote. A floor amendment (1909), offered by Sen. D'Allesandro, was adopted on a voice vote 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 voted to pass it. On June 15, 2005 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. 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 (1967) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 14, 2005, making it Chapter 240 of the session laws. It took effect on July 14, 2005.
