The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 2, 2012. The committee met in executive session on February 16, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0189h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 8–6. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0189h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 14, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On March 14, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 226–85. On March 15, 2012 the House adopted “Reconsider Third Reading Motion of March 14 (Reps Jasper and Norelli)” on a voice vote. On March 15, 2012 the House adopted “Third Reading” on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 28, 2012 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 10, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-2233s). The committee's amendment (2233s) was rejected on May 16, 2012. Sen. Bradley offered a floor amendment (2012-2298s) on May 16, 2012; it was not voted on and was later withdrawn. On May 16, 2012 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On May 16, 2012 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. A floor amendment (2012-2319s), offered by Sen. Bradley, was rejected on a division vote 6–18 on May 16, 2012. On May 16, 2012 the Senate again voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley.
