The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2007 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2007. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 15, 2007 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 28, 2007 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2007. The committee held work sessions on April 24, 2007 and May 8, 2007. The committee held a public hearing on May 15, 2007. The committee met in executive session on May 22, 2007 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on September 5, 2007, October 9, 2007 and October 17, 2007. The committee met in executive session on November 8, 2007 and November 13, 2007. A floor amendment (2651h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 23, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On January 23, 2008 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On January 23, 2008 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2008. The committee held work sessions on March 4, 2008 and March 10, 2008. The committee met in executive session on March 10, 2008 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 23–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0962h). The committee's amendment (0962h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 18, 2008, changing the text of the bill. On March 18, 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 23, 2008 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The bill was enrolled on June 5, 2008 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 8, 2008.
