The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 13, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 22, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on April 5, 2007 and was referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2007. The committee held work sessions on May 2, 2007, May 15, 2007 and May 22, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 22, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 11–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (1678h) 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 “Sen. Odell Concurs with House Amendment{1678}(New Title)” on a voice vote. 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 311 of the session laws.
