The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 10, 2006. The committee voted unanimously, 12–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0555h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. A floor amendment (0555h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 1, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On February 1, 2006 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 9, 2006 and was referred to the Senate Education committee. The committee held public hearings on March 7, 2006 and April 4, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 13, 2006 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On May 4, 2006 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote. A floor amendment (2088), offered by Sen. Bragdon, was adopted on a voice vote on May 4, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On May 4, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 4, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it. On May 11, 2006 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 23, 2006 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 24, 2006, making it Chapter 170 of the session laws. It took effect on May 24, 2006.
