The Story

It was introduced on January 13, 2010 and referred to the Senate Commerce, Labor and Consumer Protection committee. The committee held public hearings on February 9, 2010 and February 16, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (0915s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 24, 2010, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1179s), offered by Sen. Sgambati, was adopted on a voice vote on March 24, 2010, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (1166s), offered by Sen. Bradley, was rejected on a roll call 10–14 on March 24, 2010. On March 24, 2010 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 14–10 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 24, 2010 and was referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2010. The committee held work sessions on April 15, 2010, April 20, 2010, April 22, 2010 and April 27, 2010. The committee met in executive session on April 27, 2010 and May 4, 2010. The committee voted 11–7 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1586h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (1586h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 12, 2010, changing the text of the bill. On May 12, 2010 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 178–129. On May 19, 2010 the Senate adopted “Sen. Hassan Concurs with House Amendment 1586h, NT” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 2, 2010 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 1, 2010, making it Chapter 240 of the session laws.
