The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2010 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 2, 2010. The committee met in executive session on February 4, 2010 and February 11, 2010. The committee voted 14–3 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 voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 17, 2010 and was referred to the Senate Commerce, Labor and Consumer Protection committee.
