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 March 7, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 22, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. 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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 25, 2007. The committee held a work session on May 1, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 8, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1485h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 16, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On May 16, 2007 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 16, 2007 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held work sessions on May 22, 2007, May 23, 2007 and May 24, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 29, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 23–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On June 6, 2007 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On June 13, 2007 the Senate adopted “Requests Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 19, 2007 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The bill was enrolled on June 27, 2007 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2378) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 20, 2007, making it Chapter 346 of the session laws.
