The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2008 and referred to the Senate Commerce, Labor and Consumer Protection committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 15, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (0684) was adopted on a voice vote on March 6, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On March 6, 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 March 12, 2008 and was referred to the House Commerce committee. The committee held public hearings on April 10, 2008 and April 15, 2008. The committee held work sessions on April 24, 2008 and April 29, 2008. The committee met in executive session on April 29, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1551h). The committee's amendment (1551h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 7, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On May 7, 2008 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 21, 2008 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Gottesman.
