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 with changes. The committee's amendment (1047s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 1, 2009, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1138s), offered by Sen. Cilley, was adopted on a voice vote on April 1, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On April 1, 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 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 23, 2009. The committee held a work session on April 30, 2009. The committee met in executive session on April 30, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a work session on May 5, 2009. The committee met in executive session on May 26, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1871h). The committee's amendment (1871h) 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 voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Cilley. On June 10, 2009 the House adopted “House Accedes to Senate Request for Committee of Conference (Rep Irwin)” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 16, 2009 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. 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 July 15, 2009, making it Chapter 222 of the session laws.
