The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 29, 2009. The committee met in executive session on February 19, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it (amendment 0433h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 8–6. The committee's amendment (0433h) 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 on a division vote 255–97. It crossed to the Senate on March 18, 2009 and was referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 21, 2009. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1954s) 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 voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 10, 2009 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment #1954s (New Title) (Rep Cooney)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 10, 2009 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 8, 2009, making it Chapter 157 of the session laws.
