The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the Senate Election Law and Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 28, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1123) 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 Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 1, 2007. The committee held a work session on May 15, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 15, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 13–5 to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (1587h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 31, 2007, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1904h) was rejected on a division vote 151–170 on May 31, 2007. On May 31, 2007 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 182–141. On June 6, 2007 the House failed “Reconsideration (Rep Jasper)” on a division vote 139–195. On June 13, 2007 the Senate adopted “Sen. Burling Concurs with House Amendment{1587}” 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 377 of the session laws.
