The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the House Fish and Game and Marine Resources committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 2009. The committee met in executive session on February 10, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it. On February 18, 2009 the House voted to pass it 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 April 8, 2009 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. An enrolled bill amendment (1321) was adopted on April 29, 2009. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 6, 2009 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (1321) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 15, 2009, making it Chapter 107 of the session laws.
