The Story

It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 22, 2005. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 15–1, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 23, 2005 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on March 31, 2005 and was referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 27, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 19, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 20, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on June 2, 2005 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 15, 2005, making it Chapter 111 of the session laws. It took effect on August 14, 2005.
