The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2008 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 15, 2008. The committee met in executive session on January 29, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0166h). The committee's amendment (0166h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 13, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On February 13, 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 Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held public hearings on April 8, 2008 and April 18, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. On May 8, 2008 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. D'Allesandro. On May 15, 2008 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Hassan. The committee's amendment (1591) was adopted on a voice vote on May 15, 2008, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1909), 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 Non-Concurs and Requests Committee of Conference (Rep Theberge)” on a voice vote. On May 21, 2008 the Senate adopted “Sen. Hassan Accede to House Request For Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on May 27, 2008 and 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 July 17, 2008, making it Chapter 390 of the session laws.
