The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 31, 2006. The committee voted unanimously, 12–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1136h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 7, 2006 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 16, 2006 and was referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 20, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 20, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it.
