The Story

It was introduced on January 31, 2007 and referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 5, 2007. The committee held a work session on March 15, 2007. The committee met in executive session on March 20, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 12–3 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 27, 2007 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 5, 2007 and was referred to the Senate Commerce, Labor and Consumer Protection committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 15, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (1804), offered by Sen. D'Allesandro, was adopted on a voice vote on May 24, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On May 24, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 13, 2007 the House adopted “House Non Concurs with Senate AM #1804NT, Request Comm of Conf, Rep Reardon” on a voice vote. On June 14, 2007 the Senate adopted “Sen. Gottesman Accede to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 15, 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 23, 2007, making it Chapter 351 of the session laws.
