The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 9, 2006. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1085h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 11–6. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 9, 2006 the House adopted “Special Ordered, March 21, Without Objection”. The committee's amendment (1085h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 21, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On March 21, 2006 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on March 22, 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 with changes (amendment 1800). The committee's amendment (1800) was adopted on a voice vote on April 20, 2006, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1944), offered by Sen. Burling, was rejected on a roll call 9–15 on April 20, 2006. On April 20, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 18–6 and ordered it to a third reading. On April 20, 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 24, 2006 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 1, 2006, making it Chapter 243 of the session laws. It took effect on July 31, 2006.
