The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held public hearings on March 14, 2007 and March 21, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On April 5, 2007 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (2579) was adopted on a voice vote on January 2, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On January 2, 2008 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 13, 2008 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 25, 2008. The committee met in executive session on April 1, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it. On April 16, 2008 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on April 30, 2008 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 14, 2008, making it Chapter 34 of the session laws.
