The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the House Local and Regulated Revenues committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 10, 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 October 27, 2009, October 28, 2009, November 2, 2009 and November 18, 2009. The committee met in executive session on November 18, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 15–2 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2531h). The committee's amendment (2531h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 13, 2010, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2010-0065h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 13, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On January 13, 2010 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On January 13, 2010 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 28, 2010. The committee met in executive session on March 16, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 12–5. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 24, 2010 the House failed “Lay on the Table (Rep Weare)” on a division vote 152–198. On March 24, 2010 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 245–113. On March 24, 2010 the House failed “Reconsideration (Rep Vaillancourt)” 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 with changes. The committee's amendment (1272s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 14, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On April 14, 2010 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 28, 2010 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM #1272s (Reps Walz & Almy)” on a roll call 250–82. An enrolled bill amendment (2070) was adopted on May 13, 2010. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 19, 2010 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2070) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 8, 2010, making it Chapter 272 of the session laws.
