The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the Senate Commerce, Labor and Consumer Protection committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 5, 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 11, 2007 and was referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 29, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On June 6, 2007 the House voted to pass it on a division vote 203–126. The bill was enrolled on June 14, 2007 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 26, 2007, making it Chapter 237 of the session laws.
