The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 21, 2012. The committee met in executive session on February 21, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 11–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 8, 2012 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 28, 2012 and was referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-1718s). The committee's amendment (1718s) 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 roll call 18–5 and ordered it to a third reading. On May 15, 2012 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate AM #1718s (Rep C.McGuire)” on a voice vote.
