The Story

On September 7, 2011 the Senate adopted “that all the Senate Rules be Suspended in order to allow late drafting and introduction, and dispense referral to committee, notice of hearing, a committee hearing, a committee report, and a notice of the report in the senate calendar on a bill that will amend RSA 167:3-c and RSA 167:79 that will make technical corrections to HB 2 from the 2011 session, 2/3 necessary” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On September 7, 2011 the Senate adopted “Introduction” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On September 7, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it on a roll call 19–5 and ordered it to a third reading. On September 14, 2011 the House adopted “Rules Suspension to Permit Introduction, Printing, Referral to Committee, Public Hearing and Committee Report with Deadlines (Rep Bettencourt)” on a voice vote. It was introduced on September 14, 2011 and referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on September 21, 2011. The committee held a public hearing on September 21, 2011 on a proposed non-germane amendment (2011-2605h). The committee held work sessions on September 28, 2011 and October 5, 2011. The committee met in executive session on October 5, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2605h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 17–4. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2605h) was adopted on a voice vote on October 12, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On October 12, 2011 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 237–126. The bill was enrolled on January 11, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on January 13, 2012, making it Chapter 272 of the session laws. It took effect on January 13, 2012.
