The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 25, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1342). On March 16, 2006 the Senate adopted “Recommit to Finance” on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 1465). The committee's amendment (1465) was adopted on a roll call 16–8 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 Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2006. On April 5, 2006 the House adopted “April 13” on a voice vote. The committee held a work session on April 11, 2006. The committee voted 17–2 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1783h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On April 19, 2006 the House adopted “move deadline to Act on 2nd Comm to April 19” on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (1783h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 19, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On April 19, 2006 the House adopted “Pass with AM” on a voice vote. The House referred the bill to the Finance committee. The committee held a work session on April 25, 2006. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2028h), 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. Morse Non Concur with House Amendment Requests Committee of Conference” 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 18, 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.
