The Story

It was introduced on February 22, 2007 and referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs 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 (1016) 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 Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 1, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 3, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 31, 2007 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
