The Story

It was introduced on March 4, 2009 and referred to the Senate Election Law and Veterans' Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 9, 2009. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 25, 2009 the Senate voted to pass it on a roll call 23–0 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 26, 2009 and was referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 22, 2009. The committee held a work session on April 28, 2009. The committee met in executive session on April 29, 2009 to vote on its recommendation.
