The Story

It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 22, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, 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 Energy and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 10, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1475). The committee's amendment (1475) 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.
