The Story

It was introduced on January 19, 2011 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 24, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 23, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2011. The committee held a work session on April 26, 2011. The committee met in executive session on May 3, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 15–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1589h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1589h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 18, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On May 18, 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. Houde. On June 8, 2011 the House adopted “House Accedes to Senate Request for C of C (Rep Swinford)” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on June 14, 2011 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The House adopted the conference report (2414c) on a voice vote. The Senate adopted the conference report (2414c) on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 22, 2011 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 13, 2011, making it Chapter 251 of the session laws.
