The Story
It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 21, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (0651) was adopted on a voice vote on March 22, 2007, changing the text of the bill. The Senate referred the bill to the Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 5, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on April 11, 2007 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2007. The committee held work sessions on May 1, 2007 and May 8, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 8, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1515h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 16, 2007, changing the text of the bill. On May 16, 2007 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 16, 2007 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held work sessions on May 22, 2007, May 23, 2007 and May 24, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 29, 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 September 5, 2007 and September 25, 2007. The committee met in executive session on October 30, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 21–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2493h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar.

On May 14, 2008 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Burling. 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 18, 2008, making it Chapter 192 of the session laws.
