The Story

It was introduced on March 4, 2009 and referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a work session on March 16, 2009. 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 (amendment 1197h), and the minority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1202h), by a vote of 14–9. On April 8, 2009 the House failed “Move to Beginning of Regular Calendar (Rep Winters)” on a division vote 176–198. On April 8, 2009 the House adopted “Print Debate & Parlimentary Inquiry in Permanent Journal (Rep Kurk)” on a division vote 172–204. 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 (1197h) was adopted on a roll call 179–161 on April 9, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On April 9, 2009 the House took up 11 floor amendments. It adopted 1235h (188–160), and rejected 1282h (175–185), 1229h (179–183), 1227h (158–197), 1228h (165–191), 1211h (165–194), 1230h (163–194), 1301h (153–198), 1299h (110–238), 1314h (78–263) and 1312h (118–193). On April 9, 2009 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 182–165. It crossed to the Senate on April 9, 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 (1996s) was adopted on a voice vote on June 3, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On June 3, 2009 the Senate took up 7 floor amendments. It adopted 2034s (Sen. D'Allesandro) and 2058s (Sen. D'Allesandro), and rejected 2053s (Sen. Roberge, 9–15), 2002s (Sen. Bradley, 11–13), 2052s (Sen. Sharon Carson, 9–15), 2048s (Sen. Odell, 8–16) and 2047s (Sen. Bragdon, 8–16). On June 3, 2009 the Senate adopted “Reconsideration on Floor Amendment {2034s}” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. D'Allesandro. A floor amendment (2034s), offered by Sen. D'Allesandro, was rejected on a voice vote on June 3, 2009. A floor amendment (2066s), offered by Sen. D'Allesandro, was adopted on a voice vote on June 3, 2009, changing the text of the bill. 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 1996s, 2058s, 2066s 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 — and an enrolled bill amendment (2347) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 30, 2009, making it Chapter 144 of the session laws.
