The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 26, 2012. The committee held work sessions on February 2, 2012 and February 16, 2012. The committee met in executive session on February 16, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0544h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0544h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 7, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On March 7, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 7, 2012 and was referred to the Senate Commerce 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 25, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. An enrolled bill amendment (2047e) was adopted on a voice vote on May 9, 2012.
