The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 10, 2006. The committee voted 16–7 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0378h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On February 2, 2006 the House adopted “Special Order to beginning of Reg Cal, Feb 15, Without Objection”. The committee's amendment (0378h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 15, 2006, changing the text of the bill. 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 Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 23, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1585). The committee's amendment (1585) was adopted on a voice vote on April 6, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On April 6, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 6, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it. On April 19, 2006 the House adopted “Request Comm of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Seth King. On May 11, 2006 the Senate adopted “Sen. Morse 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.
