The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 29, 2009. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (0292s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 18, 2009, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (0417s), offered by Sen. Hassan, was adopted on a voice vote on February 18, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On February 18, 2009 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 24–0 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 18, 2009 and was referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 3, 2009. The committee met in executive session on March 12, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a public hearing on March 12, 2009 on a proposed non-germane amendment.
