The Story
It was introduced on January 4, 2006 and referred to the Senate Environment and Wildlife committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2006. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (0577) was adopted on a voice vote on February 2, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On February 2, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On February 10, 2006 the Senate voted to pass it. It crossed to the House on February 22, 2006 and was referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 23, 2006. The committee voted 14–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1966h). The committee's amendment (1966h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 26, 2006, changing the text of the bill. On April 26, 2006 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 11, 2006 the Senate adopted “Sen. Eaton Non Concur with House Amendment Request 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 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 division vote 210–116. 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 (2389) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 22, 2006, making it Chapter 326 of the session laws. It took effect on August 25, 2006.
