The Story

It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 8, 2005. The committee held a work session on February 24, 2005. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on September 27, 2005, October 18, 2005 and October 25, 2005. The committee voted 20–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 4, 2006 the House adopted “Special Order to beginning of Reg Cal for Jan 18 Without Objection”. On January 18, 2006 the House adopted “Recommitted to Resources” on a voice vote. The committee voted 14–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0074h), 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. The committee held a public hearing on March 7, 2006. The committee voted 14–3 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1272h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar.

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.
