The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2010 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 7, 2010. The committee held a work session on January 21, 2010. The committee met in executive session on February 9, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it. On February 17, 2010 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 17, 2010 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 2, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 10, 2010 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on March 17, 2010 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on March 25, 2010, making it Chapter 3 of the session laws.
