The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 30, 2007. The committee held a work session on February 20, 2007. The committee met in executive session on March 8, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 11–4 to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0378h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 21, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On March 21, 2007 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 223–106. It crossed to the Senate on March 22, 2007 and was referred to the Senate Election Law and Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 11, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 18, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it on a roll call 14–10 and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 26, 2007 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 3, 2007, making it Chapter 10 of the session laws.
