The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 3, 2009. The committee met in executive session on February 11, 2009 and February 17, 2009. 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 14, 2009. The committee met in executive session on October 28, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 16–2 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2410h). The committee's amendment (2410h) 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 division vote 208–146. On January 6, 2010 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee. The committee held public hearings on January 20, 2010 and January 28, 2010. The committee held a work session on March 2, 2010. The committee met in executive session on March 16, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it (amendment 0915h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–9. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0915h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 24, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On March 24, 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 Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 6, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 14, 2010 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 28, 2010 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 7, 2010, making it Chapter 13 of the session laws.
