The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 25, 2006. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0853h), 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. On February 15, 2006 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee, and the referral was withdrawn. It crossed to the Senate on February 16, 2006 and was referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 5, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1656). The committee's amendment (1656) 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.
