The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2010 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 4, 2010. The committee met in executive session on February 11, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The committee recommended that the House make no recommendation. On March 18, 2010 the House failed “Lay on the Table (Rep McGuire)” on a division vote 103–192. On March 18, 2010 the House voted to pass it on a division vote 230–74. It crossed to the Senate on March 24, 2010 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 4, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 12, 2010 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. 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 July 8, 2010, making it Chapter 277 of the session laws.
