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 17, 2011. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 9–3 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0581h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 15, 2011. The committee's amendment (0581h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 17, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On March 17, 2011 the House adopted “Lay on the Table (Rep Baldasaro)” on a division vote 207–47. The bill died on the table when the session ended on January 4, 2012, having been set aside and never taken back up.
