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 March 7, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2011-0688s). The committee's amendment (0688s) 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. 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 Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 5, 2011. The committee met in executive session on April 21, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 27, 2011 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On April 27, 2011 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 5, 2011. The committee held a work session on May 5, 2011. The committee met in executive session on May 5, 2011 and May 10, 2011. The committee voted unanimously, 26–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1837h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (1837h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 18, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On May 18, 2011 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 25, 2011 the Senate adopted “Sen. Odell Concurs with House Amendment #1837h” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 8, 2011 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 14, 2011, making it Chapter 180 of the session laws.
