The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2008 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 15, 2008. The committee held work sessions on January 31, 2008 and February 7, 2008. The committee met in executive session on February 12, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it. On March 5, 2008 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 27, 2008 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 6, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1734) was adopted on a voice vote on May 14, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On May 14, 2008 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 21, 2008 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment #1734 (Rep W.Knowles)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 5, 2008 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 26, 2008, making it Chapter 256 of the session laws.
