The Story

It was introduced on February 3, 2011 and referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 22, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 9, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 16, 2011 and was referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 24, 2011. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 9–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar.
