The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2008 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2008. The committee met in executive session on January 29, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0192h). The committee's amendment (0192h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 6, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On February 6, 2008 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 21, 2008 and was referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 25, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (1405), offered by Sen. Cilley, was adopted on a voice vote on April 17, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On April 17, 2008 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 30, 2008 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment #1405 NT (Rep Theberge)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 1, 2008 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 12, 2008, making it Chapter 24 of the session laws.
