The Story

It was introduced on February 21, 2007 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 9, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 22, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it on a roll call 23–0, 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 roll call 19–5 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on April 11, 2007 and was referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2007. The committee held work sessions on May 1, 2007 and May 8, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 8, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 16–1. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (1516h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 16, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On May 16, 2007 the House failed “Divid Question, Section 1 from Sections 2&3 (Rep Vaillancourt)” on a roll call 124–213. On May 16, 2007 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 207–131. On May 16, 2007 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 23, 2007. The committee held work sessions on May 23, 2007 and May 24, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 30, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 9–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (1954h) was adopted on a voice vote on June 7, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On June 7, 2007 the House voted to pass it with changes 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 20, 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 (2389) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 23, 2007, making it Chapter 381 of the session laws.
