The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 24, 2009. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 1, 2009 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 21, 2009. The committee met in executive session on April 30, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 17–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1457h). The committee's amendment (1457h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 6, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On May 6, 2009 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 3, 2009 the Senate adopted “Sen. Cilley Concurs with House Amendment {1457h}” 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 262 of the session laws.
