The Story

It was introduced on March 4, 2009 and referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 17, 2009. The committee met in executive session on March 31, 2009 and April 1, 2009. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes, and the minority recommended that the House pass it with changes, by a vote of 14–9. On April 8, 2009 the House failed “Special Order to Beginning of April 9 Regular Calendar (Rep Packard)” on a division vote 186–191. The committee's amendment (1201) was adopted on a roll call 205–172 on April 8, 2009, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1226h) was rejected on a roll call 176–198 on April 8, 2009. A floor amendment (1221h) was rejected on a roll call 169–199 on April 8, 2009. The committee's amendment (1205h) was rejected on a roll call 157–210 on April 8, 2009.

On April 8, 2009 the House failed “Reconsideration” on a roll call 163–199. It crossed to the Senate on April 8, 2009 and was referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 15, 2009. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1994s) was adopted on a voice vote on June 3, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On June 3, 2009 the Senate took up 6 floor amendments. It adopted 2057s (Sen. D'Allesandro) and 2065s (Sen. Gatsas, 24–0), and rejected 2046s (Sen. Bradley, 9–15), 2049s (Sen. Barnes, 9–15), 2051s (Sen. Letourneau, 9–15) and 2050s (Sen. Bradley, 9–15). On June 3, 2009 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 15–9 and ordered it to a third reading. On June 3, 2009 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs w/Sen AM 1994s, 2057s, 2065s Req CofC (Rep G.Richardson)” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 8, 2009, June 9, 2009, June 11, 2009, June 12, 2009, June 15, 2009, June 16, 2009, June 17, 2009 and June 18, 2009 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The bill was enrolled on June 24, 2009 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 30, 2009, making it Chapter 143 of the session laws.
