The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the Senate Environment and Wildlife committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 17, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 2, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On February 2, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on February 22, 2006 and was referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 23, 2006. The committee held a work session on March 28, 2006. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1520h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 5, 2006 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 11, 2006 the Senate adopted “Sen. Barnes Concur with House Amendment” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 24, 2006 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2374) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 19, 2006, making it Chapter 315 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2006.
