The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 10, 2009.

On March 11, 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 on March 11, 2009 and was referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2009. The committee held a work session on April 15, 2009. The committee met in executive session on April 15, 2009 to vote on its recommendation.
