The Story

It was introduced on February 3, 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 unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 18, 2011 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 25, 2011 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 2, 2011, making it Chapter 126 of the session laws.
