The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The committee held public hearings on January 17, 2012, January 25, 2012 and January 30, 2012. The committee held a work session on February 2, 2012. The committee met in executive session on February 7, 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 consent calendar. On February 15, 2012 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On February 15, 2012 the bill was referred to the Constitutional Review and Statutory Recodification committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 20, 2012. The committee voted 11–5 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1359h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (1359h) was rejected on a voice vote on March 28, 2012. A floor amendment (2012-1433h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 28, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On March 28, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 28, 2012 and was referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 4, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-2038s). The committee's amendment (2038s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 16, 2012, changing the text of the bill. 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 #2038s and Requests C of C (Rep Stepanek)” on a voice vote. On May 23, 2012 the Senate adopted “Sen. Prescott Accede to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on May 31, 2012 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The Senate adopted the conference report (2474c) on a voice vote. The House adopted the conference report (2474c) on a voice vote. 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 259 of the session laws.
