The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2008 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 4, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1064) was adopted on a voice vote on March 20, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On March 20, 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 and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 1, 2008. The committee met in executive session on April 22, 2008 to vote on its recommendation.
