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 24, 2011. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 15, 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 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. The bill was enrolled on June 1, 2011 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 8, 2011, making it Chapter 153 of the session laws.
