The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2008 and referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 30, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 14, 2008 the Senate voted to pass it 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 Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 27, 2008. The committee held a work session on April 1, 2008. The committee met in executive session on April 8, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 17–8 to recommend that the House pass it. On April 23, 2008 the House voted to pass it on a division vote 181–105. The bill was enrolled on May 1, 2008 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 28, 2008, making it Chapter 92 of the session laws.
