The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2008 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2008. The committee held a work session on February 14, 2008. The committee met in executive session on February 19, 2008 and February 21, 2008. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0664h). The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 5, 2008. The committee's amendment (0664h) was rejected on a voice vote on March 12, 2008. A floor amendment (0860h) 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 Wildlife, Fish and Game and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 9, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 17, 2008 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 1, 2008 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 21, 2008, making it Chapter 74 of the session laws.
