The Story

It was introduced on January 19, 2011 and referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 1, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 16, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 16, 2011 and was referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2011. The committee held work sessions on May 17, 2011 and May 24, 2011. The committee met in executive session on May 24, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1983h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1983h) was adopted on a voice vote on June 1, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On June 1, 2011 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 8, 2011 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Barnes. On June 8, 2011 the House adopted “House Refuses to Accede to Senate Request for C of C (Rep Bates)” on a voice vote.
