The Story

It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held public hearings on February 24, 2005 and March 21, 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 13, 2005, September 28, 2005, October 12, 2005 and October 26, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 4, 2006 the House voted to pass it with changes. It crossed to the Senate on January 4, 2006 and was referred to the Senate Environment and Wildlife committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 9, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 0976). On February 23, 2006 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote.
