The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 30, 2007. The committee held a work session on February 7, 2007. The committee met in executive session on February 8, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 17–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0125h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 21, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On February 21, 2007 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 22, 2007 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1340) was adopted on a voice vote on May 3, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On May 3, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 14, 2007 the Senate adopted “Sen. Foster Accede to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 20, 2007 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The bill was enrolled on June 27, 2007 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 20, 2007, making it Chapter 321 of the session laws.
