The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 1, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 9, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On February 9, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on February 22, 2006 and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The House withdrew that referral and sent the bill to the Election Law committee instead. It crossed to the House on March 22, 2006 and was referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2006.
