The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 10, 2006. The committee held work sessions on January 24, 2006, February 7, 2006, February 16, 2006 and February 21, 2006. The committee voted 17–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1177h), and 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 (1177h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 21, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On March 21, 2006 the House adopted “Flr AM” on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 22, 2006 and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 5, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1784). The committee's amendment (1784) 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. D'Allesandro Accede to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on May 17, 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 — and an enrolled bill amendment (2400) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 19, 2006, making it Chapter 311 of the session laws. It took effect on July 19, 2006.
