The Story

It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 17, 2005. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on June 7, 2005, June 21, 2005, June 28, 2005, September 20, 2005, September 27, 2005, October 6, 2005, October 13, 2005, November 15, 2005 and November 22, 2005. The committee voted 11–3 to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 4, 2006 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 233–131. It crossed to the Senate on January 4, 2006 and was referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 8, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On April 20, 2006 the Senate voted to kill it on a voice vote.
