The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee.

The committee met in executive session on March 2, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 10–4. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 16, 2011 the House rejected a motion to kill it on a roll call 87–237. On March 16, 2011 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote.
