The Story

It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 22, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 10–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 23, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 31, 2005 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 13, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 21, 2005 the Senate adopted “Recommit” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Hassen. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1405). The committee's amendment (1405) was adopted on a voice vote on May 19, 2005, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1504), offered by Sen. Kenney, 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 1, 2005 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a division vote 241–103. The bill was enrolled on June 9, 2005 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 21, 2005, making it Chapter 152 of the session laws. It took effect on August 20, 2005.
