The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2008 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2008. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (0966) was adopted on a voice vote on March 13, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On March 13, 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 19, 2008 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 15, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it. On May 7, 2008 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 15, 2008 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 6, 2008, making it Chapter 128 of the session laws.
