The Story

It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 2005. The committee voted 17–2 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 23, 2005 the House voted to pass it. It crossed to the Senate on March 31, 2005 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 19, 2005. On May 12, 2005 the Senate adopted “Sen. Kenney Rules Suspension 2/3 nec. to Vacate after Hearing to E& ED” on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On June 9, 2005 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (0265) was adopted on a voice vote on January 18, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On January 18, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 2, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On February 2, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it. On April 5, 2006 the House voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. On May 11, 2006 the Senate adopted “Sen. Odell 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 Report” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 24, 2006 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 15, 2006, making it Chapter 275 of the session laws. It took effect on June 15, 2006.
