The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2008 and referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs 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 (0984) 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 Municipal and County Government 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 with changes (amendment 1372h). The committee's amendment (1372h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 30, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On April 30, 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. Hassan.
