It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 10, 2009. The committee held work sessions on February 17, 2009 and February 19, 2009. The committee met in executive session on February 19, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 11–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0434h). The committee's amendment (0434h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 4, 2009, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (0548h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 4, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On March 4, 2009 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On March 4, 2009 the bill was referred to the Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 31, 2009. The committee met in executive session on April 2, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it. On April 8, 2009 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 8, 2009 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 28, 2009. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On May 13, 2009 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (0150s) was adopted on a voice vote on January 21, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On January 21, 2010 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 5, 2010 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate AM & Requests C of C (Reps Harding & Shurtleff)” on a voice vote. On May 19, 2010 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Cilley. A committee of conference met on May 25, 2010 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The bill was enrolled on June 2, 2010 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2431) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 13, 2010, making it Chapter 292 of the session laws.
