The Story

It was introduced on February 15, 2007 and referred to the Senate Commerce, Labor and Consumer Protection committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 27, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (0992) was adopted on a voice vote on April 5, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On April 5, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it with changes 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 Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 25, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 22, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1427h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 31, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On May 31, 2007 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 13, 2007 the Senate adopted “Sen. Gottesman Concurs with House Amendment{1427}” on a voice vote.
