The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2005 and referred to the Senate Environment and Wildlife committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 22, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On March 31, 2005 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it. On March 31, 2005 the Senate rejected a motion to lay it on the table. A floor amendment (0975), offered by Sen. Flanders, was adopted on a voice vote on March 31, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On March 31, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 13–11 and ordered it to a third reading. On March 31, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on April 6, 2005 and was referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 19, 2005. The committee held work sessions on April 26, 2005 and May 4, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 11–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on June 1, 2005. On June 1, 2005 the House adopted “Special Ordered to June 8 Reg Cal, without objection”. On June 8, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 162–135. On June 9, 2005 the Senate adopted “Senator Johnson Non Concur with House Am{1547}(NT) Requests C of C”. On June 15, 2005 the House adopted “House Acceded to req for Conf Comm” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 20, 2005 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill.
