The Story

It was introduced on January 27, 2010 and referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 4, 2010. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1136s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 24, 2010, changing the text of the bill. 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 Local and Regulated Revenues committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 30, 2010. The committee held a work session on April 6, 2010. The committee met in executive session on April 15, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1395h), by a vote of 13–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On April 21, 2010 the House voted to kill it on a roll call 212–158. On April 21, 2010 the House failed “Reconsideration (Rep W.O'Brien)” on a division vote 116–230.
