The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 3, 2009. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1163s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 8, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On April 8, 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 April 9, 2009 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 23, 2009. The committee met in executive session on May 12, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1585h). The committee's amendment (1585h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 20, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On May 20, 2009 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 3, 2009 the Senate adopted “Sen. Reynolds Concurs with House Amendment {1585h}” 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 16, 2009, making it Chapter 260 of the session laws.
