The Story

It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 15, 2005. The committee held a work session on February 17, 2005. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on October 4, 2005. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, 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 5, 2006 and was referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held public hearings on March 15, 2006, March 23, 2006 and April 10, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 20, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 3, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 3, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on May 12, 2006 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 19, 2006, making it Chapter 126 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2006.
