The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2011 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 3, 2011. The committee met in executive session on February 16, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On February 23, 2011 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 9, 2011 and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 29, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 13, 2011 the Senate adopted the motion that it ought to pass on a voice vote, but its third reading was left pending. On April 13, 2011 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Morse. The bill died on the table when the session ended on September 7, 2011, having been set aside and never taken back up.
