The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2005 and referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 1, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0668). The committee's amendment (0668) 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, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 7, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 7, 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 work sessions on May 3, 2005, May 12, 2005 and May 19, 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 June 1, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes. On June 9, 2005 the Senate adopted “Senator Bragdon 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 222 of the session laws. It took effect on September 3, 2005.
