The Story
It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 22, 2011. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0470h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0470h) 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 30, 2011 and was referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 10, 2011. 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.
