The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 24, 2011. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 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 9–3. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 16, 2011 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 172–124. It crossed to the Senate on April 20, 2011 and was referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 27, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On May 18, 2011 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Prescott. The bill died on the table when the session ended on September 7, 2011, having been set aside and never taken back up.
