The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2010 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 19, 2010. The committee met in executive session on January 26, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it. On February 3, 2010 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 3, 2010 and was referred to the Senate Election Law and Veterans' Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 16, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1845s) 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 Non-Concurs with Senate AM and Req Comm of Conf (Rep Clemons)” on a voice vote. On May 19, 2010 the Senate adopted “accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Lasky. A committee of conference met on May 26, 2010 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The bill was enrolled on June 2, 2010 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2435) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 23, 2010, making it Chapter 366 of the session laws.
