The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 8, 2007. The committee met in executive session on March 8, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 21, 2007 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 29, 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 (1942) was adopted on a voice vote on May 31, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On May 31, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 7, 2007 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate AM #1942s, Requests Comm Of Conf, Rep Theberge” on a voice vote. 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 19, 2007 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill.
