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 2, 2012. The committee voted unanimously, 9–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0548h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0548h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 15, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On February 15, 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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 19, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 9, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 17, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 29, 2012, making it Chapter 89 of the session laws.
