The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On April 5, 2007 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Clegg. On April 12, 2007 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Foster. The committee's amendment (1061) was adopted on a voice vote on April 12, 2007, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1252), offered by Sen. Foster, was adopted on a voice vote on April 12, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On April 12, 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 and was referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 3, 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 (1453h) 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 June 13, 2007 the Senate adopted “Sen. Foster Concurs with House Amendment{1453}” on a voice vote. 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 (2312) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 20, 2007, making it Chapter 337 of the session laws.
