The Story
It was introduced on January 6, 2005 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 1, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 10, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On February 10, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on February 15, 2005 and was referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 30, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes. On June 2, 2005 the Senate adopted “Sen. Foster Non Concur with House Am{0635} Request Committee of Conference” 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.
