The Story
It was introduced on January 19, 2011 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 3, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2011-0300s). The committee's amendment (0300s) 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 crossed to the House on March 16, 2011 and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 5, 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 with changes (amendment 1696h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1696h) 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 June 8, 2011 the Senate adopted “Sen. Houde Concurs with House Amendment #1696h, NT” 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 28, 2011, making it Chapter 217 of the session laws.
