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 14, 2005. The committee voted 12–6 to recommend that the House pass it. On March 9, 2005 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 22, 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 29, 2005, October 13, 2005 and November 10, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, 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 January 4, 2006. On January 4, 2006 the House adopted “Special Order to regular place on Reg Cal for Jan 18 Without Objection”. On January 18, 2006 the House adopted “Special Order to beginning of Reg Cal of Feb 1, Without Objection”. On February 1, 2006 the House adopted “Special Order to beginning of Reg Cal for Feb 2, Without Objection”. On February 2, 2006 the House rejected a motion to kill it on a division vote 59–222. On February 2, 2006 the House adopted “Flr AM” on a voice vote. On February 2, 2006 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 9, 2006 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Economic Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 7, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1299). On March 16, 2006 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote.
