The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2008 and referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 15, 2008. The committee met in executive session on February 7, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0197h). The committee's amendment (0197h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 5, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On March 5, 2008 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 13, 2008 and was referred to the Senate Election Law and Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 10, 2008 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 24, 2008 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 12, 2008, making it Chapter 30 of the session laws.
