The Story

It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 24, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 23, 2005. On March 23, 2005 the House voted to kill it on a roll call 164–153. On March 30, 2005 the House adopted “Reconsider” on a roll call 153–150. On March 30, 2005 the House rejected a motion to kill it on a division vote 149–151. A floor amendment (0867), offered by Rep Kurk, was adopted on a division vote 182–116 on March 30, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On March 30, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 31, 2005 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 21, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1521). The committee's amendment (1521) was adopted on a voice vote on May 26, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On May 26, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 26, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. On June 8, 2005 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On June 9, 2005 the Senate adopted “Senator Foster Accede to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 14, 2005 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill.
