The Story

It was introduced on December 1, 2004 and referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 25, 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 February 23, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 24, 2005 and was referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 20, 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 15, 2005 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1726) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 29, 2005 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 1, 2005, making it Chapter 199 of the session laws.
