The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2005 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 8, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0245). The committee's amendment (0245) was adopted on a voice vote on February 17, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On February 17, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On February 17, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 29, 2005. The committee met in executive session on May 24, 2005 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 12–4. On June 1, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 9, 2005 the Senate adopted “Senator Clegg Concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. 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 (1951) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage.
