The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the Senate Commerce, Labor and Consumer Protection committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 17, 2009. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 8, 2009 the Senate voted to pass it 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 Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 28, 2009. The committee met in executive session on May 19, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1430h). The committee's amendment (1430h) was adopted on a voice vote on June 3, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On June 3, 2009 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 10, 2009 the Senate adopted “Sen. Hassan Concurs with House Amendment {1430h}” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 24, 2009 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on August 7, 2009, making it Chapter 323 of the session laws.
