A floor amendment (0941), offered by Sen. Gatsas, was rejected on a roll call 10–13 on March 22, 2007. On March 22, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 23–0 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 28, 2007 and was referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2007.
