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 study it after the session ends. On February 23, 2006 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote. On March 22, 2006 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote. On March 22, 2006 the Senate rejected a motion to study it after the session ends on a voice vote. A floor amendment (1496), offered by Sen. Estabrook, was adopted on March 22, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On March 22, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 22, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on March 28, 2006 and was referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2006. The committee voted 13–1 to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 26, 2006 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
