The Story
It was introduced on January 6, 2010 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 2, 2010. The committee met in executive session on February 16, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 13–3 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 11, 2010 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 309–6. It crossed to the Senate on March 24, 2010 and was referred to the Senate Election Law and Veterans' Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 20, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1637s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 5, 2010, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1885s), offered by Sen. Downing, was adopted on a voice vote on May 5, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On May 5, 2010 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 19, 2010 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM #1637s(NT) & #1885s(NT) (Rep Pierce)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 19, 2010 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 26, 2010, making it Chapter 103 of the session laws.
