The Story

It was introduced on February 6, 2008 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. On February 13, 2008 the House adopted “Suspend House Rules for Reporting Deadline Extended to 3/13/2008” on a division vote 219–7. The committee held a public hearing on February 20, 2008. The committee met in executive session on March 7, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0779h). The committee's amendment (0779h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 18, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On March 18, 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 Energy, Environment and Economic Development committee. The committee held public hearings on April 22, 2008 and April 28, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 8, 2008 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 21, 2008 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 6, 2008, making it Chapter 166 of the session laws.
