The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 19, 2006.

On February 16, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On February 16, 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 committee held a public hearing on March 28, 2006. The committee held a work session on April 4, 2006.
