The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2008 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 29, 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. 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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 21, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 1, 2008 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Cilley. On May 14, 2008 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Cilley. On May 14, 2008 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a division vote 12–11, on a motion by Sen. Gatsas. On May 15, 2008 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Hassan. A floor amendment (1888), offered by Sen. Hassan, 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. On May 21, 2008 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment #1888 NT (Rep Irwin)” 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 24, 2008, making it Chapter 247 of the session laws.
