The Story
It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 11, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (0435) was adopted on a voice vote on February 2, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On February 2, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. On February 10, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on February 22, 2006 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 16, 2006. The committee held a work session on April 6, 2006. The committee voted 12–4 to recommend that the House pass it. On April 19, 2006 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on April 26, 2006 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2089) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 23, 2006 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor vetoed it on May 26, 2006. The legislature can override a veto with a two-thirds vote in both chambers. On June 28, 2006 the Senate voted 13–9 on overriding the governor's veto on a roll call, and the veto was sustained, failing to meet the two thirds threshold.
