The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 26, 2006. The committee held a work session on February 8, 2006. The committee voted 19–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0880h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on February 21, 2006. On February 22, 2006 the House adopted “Without Objection” on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (0880h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 7, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On March 7, 2006 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 264–46. It crossed to the Senate on March 16, 2006 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (1947), offered by Sen. Bragdon, was adopted on a voice vote on April 20, 2006, changing the text of the bill.
