The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2010 and referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 2010. The committee held a work session on February 4, 2010. The committee met in executive session on February 11, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0361h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0361h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 17, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On March 17, 2010 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 24, 2010 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 14, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (2065s), offered by Sen. Reynolds, was adopted on a voice vote on May 12, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On May 12, 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 #2065s (Rep Gile)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 2, 2010 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 20, 2010, making it Chapter 321 of the session laws.
