The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held public hearings on February 24, 2011 and March 9, 2011. The committee met in executive session on March 9, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0639h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0639h) 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 April 27, 2011 and was referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 4, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2011-1886s). The committee's amendment (1886s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 18, 2011, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2011-1970s), offered by Sen. Larsen, was adopted on a voice vote on May 18, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On May 18, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 26, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2011-2216s). The committee's amendment (2216s) was adopted on a voice vote on June 1, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On June 1, 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 1886s(NT), 1970s, 2216s (Rep C.McGuire)” on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment (2011-2515e) was adopted on June 22, 2011. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 22, 2011 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2515e) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 5, 2011, making it Chapter 231 of the session laws.
