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 23, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2011-0687s). The committee's amendment (0687s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 16, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On March 16, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2011-0999s). The committee's amendment (0999s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 23, 2011, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2011-1147s), offered by Sen. Odell, was adopted on a voice vote on March 23, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On March 23, 2011 the Senate adopted the motion that it ought to pass with an amendment on a voice vote, but its third reading was left pending. On March 23, 2011 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Morse. The bill died on the table when the session ended on September 7, 2011, having been set aside and never taken back up.
