The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 2009 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 2009. The committee held a work session on February 10, 2009. The committee voted 15–2 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0341h). On March 4, 2009 the House adopted “Special Ordered to the Next Session Date in the Regular Calendar Order” on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (0341h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 11, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On March 11, 2009 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 18, 2009 and was referred to the Senate Wildlife, Fish and Game and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 31, 2009. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 20, 2009 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. An enrolled bill amendment (1924) was adopted on May 20, 2009. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 3, 2009 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1924) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 31, 2009, making it Chapter 296 of the session laws.
