The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2005 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 9, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0903). The committee's amendment (0903) was adopted on a voice vote on March 31, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On March 31, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 31, 2005 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on April 6, 2005 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The House withdrew that referral and sent the bill to the Commerce committee instead. The committee held a public hearing on April 27, 2005. The committee voted 17–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 11, 2005 the House voted to pass it, then referred it on to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 18, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, 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 Kenney 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 223 of the session laws. It took effect on July 5, 2005.
