The Story
It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held public hearings on January 10, 2006 and January 31, 2006. The committee voted 16–2 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0672h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 15, 2006 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 16, 2006 and was referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 19, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1925). The committee's amendment (1925) 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.
