The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the Senate Election Law and Veterans' Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 27, 2009.

On February 4, 2009 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 12, 2009 and was referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 22, 2009.
