The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the Senate Judiciary 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 roll call 24–0 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 28, 2007 and was referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2007. The committee held a work session on May 2, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 8, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 13–3 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. A floor amendment (1544h) was rejected on a division vote 148–199 on May 16, 2007. On May 16, 2007 the House voted to pass it on a division vote 230–118. The bill was enrolled on May 31, 2007 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 12, 2007, making it Chapter 121 of the session laws.
