The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 25, 2012. The committee met in executive session on January 31, 2012 and February 21, 2012. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0680h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0680h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 7, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On March 7, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 7, 2012 and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-1710s). The committee's amendment (1710s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 25, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On April 25, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 15, 2012 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM #1710s (Rep Renzullo)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 23, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 7, 2012, making it Chapter 141 of the session laws.
