The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held public hearings on March 3, 2009 and March 17, 2009. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 25, 2009 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 26, 2009 and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held public hearings on April 14, 2009 and April 21, 2009. The committee met in executive session on May 12, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 11–0, to recommend that the House pass it. On May 20, 2009 the House voted to pass it on a division vote 221–107. The bill was enrolled on May 27, 2009 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on August 12, 2009, making it Chapter 326 of the session laws.
