The Story

It was introduced on February 15, 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 with changes. The committee's amendment (0541) was adopted on a voice vote on March 22, 2007, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (0951), offered by Sen. Clegg, 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 16–7 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 28, 2007 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2007. The committee held work sessions on April 24, 2007, May 8, 2007, May 17, 2007 and May 22, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 29, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 12–2 to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On June 6, 2007 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
