The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 17, 2012. The committee met in executive session on January 25, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 1, 2012 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 15, 2012 and was referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 3, 2012. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 11, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 18, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 2, 2012, making it Chapter 30 of the session laws.
