The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2005 and referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 26, 2005. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0971). The committee's amendment (0971) was adopted on a voice vote on April 7, 2005, changing the text of the bill. On April 7, 2005 the Senate rejected a motion to pass it on a voice vote. 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 Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 21, 2005. The committee held a work session on April 26, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, 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 June 2, 2005 the Senate adopted “Sen. Roberge Concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 9, 2005 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor.
