The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2009 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 24, 2009. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes. The committee's amendment (1178s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 8, 2009, changing the text of the bill. On April 8, 2009 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on April 9, 2009 and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 21, 2009. The committee met in executive session on May 12, 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 8, 2009 and October 20, 2009. The committee met in executive session on November 17, 2009 to vote on its recommendation. The committee reported: Refer to Interim Study for Jan 6 CC by a vote of 18–1. On January 6, 2010 the House adopted “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote. The committee held work sessions on September 29, 2010 and October 21, 2010. The committee met in executive session on October 27, 2010 to vote on its recommendation. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “Not Recommended for Future Legislation in 2011”, by a vote of 8 to 4.
