The Story

It was introduced on February 17, 2005 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 24, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it 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 Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 14–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 4, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes. On May 19, 2005 the Senate adopted “Sen. Foster Concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 2, 2005 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 15, 2005, making it Chapter 129 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2006.
