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 February 7, 2008. The committee held a work session on February 12, 2008. The committee met in executive session on February 19, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 16–1 to recommend that the House kill it. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 5, 2008. On March 12, 2008 the House rejected a motion to kill it on a voice vote. A floor amendment (0838h) 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 13, 2008 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held public hearings on March 26, 2008 and April 8, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1458) was rejected on a voice vote on May 1, 2008. A floor amendment (1575), offered by Sen. Odell, 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 Concurs with Senate Amendment #1575 (Rep Irwin)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 4, 2008 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 20, 2008, making it Chapter 234 of the session laws.
