The Story

It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 17, 2005. The committee held a work session on March 23, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 30, 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 with changes (amendment 1155). The committee's amendment (1155) was adopted on a voice vote on April 21, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On April 21, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 21, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it.
