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. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1013). The committee's amendment (1013) was adopted on a voice vote on February 23, 2006, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1227), offered by Sen. Boyce, was adopted on a voice vote on February 23, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On February 23, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On February 23, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on February 23, 2006 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 28, 2006. The committee held a work session on April 6, 2006. The committee voted 16–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1829h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 26, 2006 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 11, 2006 the Senate adopted “Sen. Roberge Non Concur with House Amendment Requests C of C” on a voice vote. On May 11, 2006 the House adopted “House Accedes to Senate Request for Conf Comm” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on May 16, 2006 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On May 24, 2006 the House adopted “Conf Comm Report” on a voice vote. On May 24, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it 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 (2399) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 19, 2006, making it Chapter 319 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2006.
