The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2011 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 27, 2011. The committee met in executive session on January 27, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0093h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0093h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 9, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On February 9, 2011 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 16, 2011 and was referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 20, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. An enrolled bill amendment (1571) was adopted on May 4, 2011. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 4, 2011 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2011-1571e) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 11, 2011 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 27, 2011, making it Chapter 92 of the session laws.
