The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2008 and referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 2008. The committee met in executive session on February 12, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0419h). The committee's amendment (0419h) 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 9, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1314) was adopted on a roll call 24–0 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 Non-Concurs and Requests a Committee of Conference (Rep Roberts)” on a voice vote. On May 21, 2008 the Senate adopted “Sen. Burling Accede to House Request for Conference Committee” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on May 28, 2008 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. 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 257 of the session laws.
