The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2007. The committee met in executive session on February 16, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee recommended that the House pass it with changes. A floor amendment (0155h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 6, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On March 6, 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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 19, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (1350), offered by Sen. Burling, was adopted on a voice vote on April 26, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On April 26, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 16, 2007 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM #1350, Rep Irwin” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 31, 2007 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 12, 2007, making it Chapter 80 of the session laws.
