The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2010 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 7, 2010. The committee held work sessions on January 12, 2010 and January 15, 2010. The committee met in executive session on January 26, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it (amendment 0144h). The committee's amendment (0144h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 3, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On February 3, 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 Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 13, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1855s) was rejected on a voice vote on May 13, 2010. A floor amendment (1984s), offered by Sen. Gilmour, was adopted on a voice vote on May 13, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On May 13, 2010 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 21, 2010 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM #1984s (Rep Almy)” 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 June 28, 2010, making it Chapter 219 of the session laws.
