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 31, 2008. The committee met in executive session on February 12, 2008, February 19, 2008 and February 20, 2008. The committee voted 15–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0430h). The committee's amendment (0430h) 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 Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 15, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1430) 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. 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 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 27, 2008, making it Chapter 293 of the session laws.
