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 17, 2009. The committee met in executive session on March 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 August 19, 2009, August 26, 2009, September 9, 2009, September 25, 2009, October 13, 2009, October 20, 2009, November 3, 2009 and November 12, 2009. The committee met in executive session on November 12, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 10–7 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2482h). The committee's amendment (2482h) 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.

It crossed to the Senate on March 17, 2010 and was referred to the Senate Commerce, Labor and Consumer Protection committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 8, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1430s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 21, 2010, changing the text of the bill.

On May 5, 2010 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM 1430s & 1479s (Reps Butler & Almy)” on a voice vote. 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 (2100) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 14, 2010, making it Chapter 132 of the session laws.
