The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2008 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (0497) was adopted on a voice vote on February 21, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On February 21, 2008 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 20, 2008 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2008. The committee held work sessions on April 3, 2008 and April 9, 2008. The committee met in executive session on April 10, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1249h). The committee's amendment (1249h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 16, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On April 16, 2008 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 16, 2008 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held work sessions on April 22, 2008, April 30, 2008 and May 6, 2008. The committee met in executive session on May 8, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 16–7 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1726h). The committee's amendment (1726h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 14, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On May 14, 2008 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 21, 2008 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Burling. A committee of conference met on May 27, 2008 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The bill was enrolled on June 20, 2008 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 8, 2008, making it Chapter 343 of the session laws.
