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 9, 2009. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 18, 2009 the Senate voted to pass it 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 7, 2009.
