The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2005 and referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 9, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0676). The committee's amendment (0676) was adopted on a voice vote on March 24, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On March 24, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 24, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 26, 2005. The committee held a work session on May 4, 2005. The committee voted 10–7 to recommend that the House pass it with changes. On May 25, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 9, 2005 the Senate adopted “Senator Roberge Non Concur with House Am{1337} Requests C of C” on a voice vote. 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. On June 29, 2005 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report” on a voice vote. On June 29, 2005 the Senate adopted “Conference Committee Report” on a voice vote. 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 22, 2005, making it Chapter 286 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2005.
