The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 16, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (0255) was adopted on a voice vote on March 22, 2007, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (0661), offered by Sen. Fuller Clark, was adopted on a voice vote on March 22, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On March 22, 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 March 28, 2007 and was referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 18, 2007. The committee held work sessions on April 18, 2007, May 9, 2007, May 15, 2007, May 16, 2007 and May 23, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 24, 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 12–6. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (1809h) 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 “Sen. Burling Concurs with House Amendment{1809}” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 27, 2007 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 23, 2007, making it Chapter 359 of the session laws.
