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 10, 2006. The committee held work sessions on January 12, 2006, January 17, 2006 and January 24, 2006. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0548h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 2, 2006 the House adopted “Special Ordered to the beginning of Reg. Cal., Feb 15”. The committee's amendment (0548) was adopted on a voice vote on February 15, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On February 15, 2006 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On February 15, 2006 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 7, 2006 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 9, 2006 and was referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 29, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1670). The committee's amendment (1670) was adopted on a voice vote on April 13, 2006, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1779), offered by Sen. Boyce, was adopted on a voice vote on April 13, 2006, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1803), offered by Sen. Burling, was adopted on a voice vote on April 13, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On April 13, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 13, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it. On April 26, 2006 the House adopted “Request Comm of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Whalley. On May 11, 2006 the Senate adopted “Sen. Bragdon Accede to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on May 17, 2006 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On May 24, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote. On May 24, 2006 the House adopted “Conf Comm Rprt” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 24, 2006 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2387) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 19, 2006, making it Chapter 305 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2007.
