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 February 17, 2009. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 4, 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 4, 2009 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2009. The committee held a work session on April 16, 2009. The committee met in executive session on April 21, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House kill it. The committee's amendment (1360h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 29, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On April 29, 2009 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 198–137. On June 3, 2009 the Senate adopted “Sen. Cilley Concurs with House Amendment {1360h}” 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 August 21, 2009, making it Chapter 327 of the session laws.
