The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 14, 2006. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 6–5. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 9, 2006 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 164–141. It crossed to the Senate on March 16, 2006 and was referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 20, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it on a roll call 24–0 and ordered it to a third reading. On April 20, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it. The bill was enrolled on May 3, 2006 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 9, 2006, making it Chapter 111 of the session laws.
