The Story

It was introduced on January 27, 2005 and referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 23, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0483). The committee's amendment (0483) was adopted on a voice vote on March 17, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On March 17, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 17, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on March 23, 2005 and was referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2005. The committee held work sessions on April 27, 2005 and May 5, 2005. The committee voted 13–2 to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 25, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes. On June 9, 2005 the Senate adopted “Senator Roberge Concur with House Amendment” 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 5, 2005, making it Chapter 226 of the session laws. It took effect on September 3, 2005.
