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 14, 2012. On February 15, 2012 the House adopted “Suspend House Rules to Allow Reporting Deadline to be Moved to March 22, 2012” on a voice vote. The committee held a public hearing on February 16, 2012 on a proposed non-germane amendment (2012-0834h). The committee held a public hearing on February 16, 2012 on a proposed non-germane amendment (2012-0849h). The committee held work sessions on March 6, 2012, March 12, 2012 and March 19, 2012. The committee met in executive session on March 20, 2012 and March 21, 2012. The committee voted unanimously, 10–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1357h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 28, 2012. The committee's amendment (1357h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 29, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On March 29, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-1850s). The committee's amendment (1850s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 2, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On May 2, 2012 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Odell. On May 16, 2012 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Odell. A floor amendment (2012-2328s), offered by Sen. Odell, was adopted on a voice vote on May 16, 2012, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2012-1972s), offered by Sen. DeBlois, was rejected on a voice vote on May 16, 2012. On May 16, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 17, 2012 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate AM #1850s and #2328s and Requests C of C (Rep Ingbretson)” on a voice vote. On May 23, 2012 the Senate adopted “Sen. Odell Accede to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on May 30, 2012 and May 31, 2012 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The Senate adopted the conference report (2472c) on a voice vote. The House adopted the conference report (2472c) on a roll call 234–60. The bill was enrolled on June 6, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 18, 2012, making it Chapter 256 of the session laws.
