The Story

It was introduced on January 31, 2007 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 8, 2007. The committee held a work session on March 13, 2007. The committee met in executive session on March 20, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on May 29, 2007, June 5, 2007 and September 5, 2007. The committee met in executive session on October 30, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2423h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2423h) was adopted on a division vote 207–71 on January 23, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On January 23, 2008 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On January 23, 2008 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 14, 2008. The committee held work sessions on March 4, 2008 and March 7, 2008. The committee met in executive session on March 10, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0880h). The committee's amendment (0880h) 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 Wildlife, Fish and Game and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 16, 2008.
