The Story

It was introduced on January 19, 2011 and referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On March 30, 2011 the Senate rejected a motion to send it back to committee on a voice vote. A floor amendment (2011-1307s), offered by Sen. White, was adopted on a voice vote on March 30, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On March 30, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 31, 2011 and was referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 3, 2011. The committee held a work session on May 10, 2011. The committee met in executive session on May 10, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 18, 2011 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. 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 7, 2011, making it Chapter 145 of the session laws.
