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 March 4, 2011. The committee held a work session on March 4, 2011. The committee met in executive session on March 4, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 9–4 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 16, 2011 the House voted to pass it 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 with changes (amendment 2011-1772s). The committee's amendment (1772s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 11, 2011, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2011-1814s), offered by Sen. Groen, was adopted on a voice vote on May 11, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On May 11, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2011-2211s). The committee's amendment (2211s) 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 1, 2011 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate AM #1772s, #1814s, #2211s and Requests C of C (Rep Chandler)” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 9, 2011 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The Senate adopted the conference report (2306c) on a voice vote. The House adopted the conference report (2306c) on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 22, 2011 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 30, 2011, making it Chapter 230 of the session laws.
