The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 15, 2011. The committee met in executive session on March 1, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0353h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2011-0353h) 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 Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 5, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 20, 2011 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Merrill. The bill died on the table when the session ended on September 7, 2011, having been set aside and never taken back up.
