The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 10, 2011. The committee held work sessions on February 10, 2011 and February 24, 2011. The committee met in executive session on March 9, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 12–3 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0761h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0761h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 15, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On March 15, 2011 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 23, 2011 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 12, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2011-2040s). The committee's amendment (2040s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 25, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On May 25, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 8, 2011 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM 2040s(NT) (Rep C.McGuire)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 8, 2011 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 27, 2011, making it Chapter 210 of the session laws.
