The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 27, 2009. The committee held work sessions on February 5, 2009 and February 11, 2009. The committee met in executive session on February 17, 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 work sessions on May 19, 2009, September 23, 2009 and September 30, 2009. The committee met in executive session on November 19, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2529h). The committee's amendment (2529h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 6, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On January 6, 2010 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On January 6, 2010 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held a work session on January 27, 2010. The committee met in executive session on February 4, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 22–0, to recommend that the House pass it. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on February 10, 2010. On February 10, 2010 the House adopted “Special Ordered to Regular Place in Feb 17 Consent Calendar”. On February 17, 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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 30, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 7, 2010 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 14, 2010 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 7, 2010, making it Chapter 11 of the session laws.
