The Story

It was introduced on January 26, 2005 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 16, 2005. The committee held a work session on February 22, 2005. The committee voted 15–4 to recommend that the House pass it with changes. On March 9, 2005 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the House Finance committee. On March 30, 2005 the House adopted “Susp Rules for Report & Action Deadlines” on a voice vote. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on September 27, 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, then referred it on to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2006. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House study it after the session ends, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 15, 2006 the House voted to study it after the session ends on a voice vote. The committee held a work session on October 3, 2006. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “NOT REC FOR LEGIS”, by a vote of 13 to 0.
