The Story

The committee held a public hearing on February 15, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2011-0357s). The committee's amendment (0357s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 23, 2011, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2011-0370s), offered by Sen. Barnes, was adopted on a voice vote on February 23, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On February 23, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It was introduced on March 16, 2011 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 5, 2011. The committee met in executive session on April 19, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on April 27, 2011. On April 27, 2011 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 240–48. The bill was enrolled on May 4, 2011 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 16, 2011, making it Chapter 86 of the session laws.
