The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 24, 2011. The committee met in executive session on March 9, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 11–4. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 15, 2011 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 279–87. It crossed to the Senate on March 23, 2011 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 6, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 4, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it on a roll call 17–7 and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 18, 2011 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 31, 2011, making it Chapter 115 of the session laws.
