  • Status: Became law unsigned

The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Special Committee on Public Employee Pensions Reform committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 11, 2011. The committee held work sessions on February 16, 2011 and March 4, 2011. The committee met in executive session on March 4, 2011 and March 9, 2011. The committee voted 6–5 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0624h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0624h) was rejected on a roll call 88–215 on March 16, 2011. On March 16, 2011 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 229–75. On March 16, 2011 the House failed “Reconsideration (Rep Bettencourt)” 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 March 31, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 4, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 18, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on June 1, 2011 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. It became law without the governor's signature on June 9, 2011, as Chapter 158. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
