The Story
It was introduced on January 2, 2008 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2008. The committee met in executive session on February 19, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 16–2 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0626h). The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 5, 2008. The committee's amendment (0626h) was rejected on a voice vote on March 12, 2008. A floor amendment (0851h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 12, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On March 12, 2008 the House voted to pass it with changes 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 kill it. On May 15, 2008 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it on a voice vote. A floor amendment (1805), offered by Sen. Gottesman, was adopted on a voice vote on May 15, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On May 15, 2008 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. An enrolled bill amendment (2136) was adopted on June 4, 2008. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 5, 2008 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2136) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 20, 2008 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor vetoed it on July 11, 2008. The legislature can override a veto with a two-thirds vote in both chambers. On September 24, 2008 the House voted 63–273 on overriding the governor's veto on a roll call, and the veto was sustained, failing to meet the two thirds threshold.
