The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the Senate Election Law and Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 21, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 8, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 28, 2007 and was referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 2, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 23, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 9–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1761h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 31, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On May 31, 2007 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 13, 2007 the Senate adopted “Requests Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 18, 2007 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 27, 2007 the House failed “Conference Committee Report #2171” on a roll call 119–235.
