The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 19, 2006. The committee voted unanimously, 14–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0682h), 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 Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1748). The committee's amendment (1748) was adopted on a voice vote on April 20, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On April 20, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote 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 reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On May 11, 2006 the Senate adopted “Sen. Foster Accede to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on May 16, 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. The governor signed it on June 15, 2006, making it Chapter 291 of the session laws. It took effect on September 13, 2006.
