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 February 17, 2005. The committee held a work session on February 22, 2005. The committee voted 16–2 to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 9, 2005. On March 9, 2005 the House adopted “Recommitted to Exec Depts & Admin” on a voice vote. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on May 24, 2005 and September 13, 2005. The committee voted 16–4 to recommend that the House pass it with changes. 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 voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On January 18, 2006 the bill was referred to the Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 16, 2006. The committee voted 15–2 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 7, 2006 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 9, 2006 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held public hearings on March 29, 2006 and April 5, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 13, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 13, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on April 27, 2006 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 2, 2006, making it Chapter 76 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2006.
