The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2008 and referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 2008. The committee met in executive session on February 14, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 10–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0700h). The committee's amendment (0700h) 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 (1476) was adopted on a voice vote on May 1, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On May 1, 2008 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.
