The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 25, 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 16, 2006 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The House withdrew that referral. On March 7, 2006 the bill was referred to the Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 2006. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 12, 2006 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The House referred the bill to the Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 18, 2006. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1942h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 4, 2006 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 11, 2006 the Senate adopted “Sen. Bragdon 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 (2380) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 19, 2006, making it Chapter 316 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2006.
