The Story

The committee met in executive session on March 5, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on October 21, 2009. The committee met in executive session on November 17, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 13–6 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 13, 2010 the House voted to pass it 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 27, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 5, 2010 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. An enrolled bill amendment (2085) was adopted on May 13, 2010. These correct technical errors found after passage.
