The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 21, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On March 29, 2007 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Kelley. On April 12, 2007 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Kelley. The committee's amendment (0691) was rejected on a voice vote on April 12, 2007. A floor amendment (1238), offered by Sen. Kelley, was adopted on a voice vote on April 12, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On April 12, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 8, 2007. The committee held work sessions on May 17, 2007, May 22, 2007 and May 29, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 29, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 13–2 to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1905h) was adopted on a voice vote on June 6, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On June 6, 2007 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 13, 2007 the Senate adopted “Sen. Fuller Clark Concurs with House Amendment{1905}” 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 313 of the session laws.
