The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 25, 2012. The committee met in executive session on January 31, 2012 and February 21, 2012. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0940h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0940h) 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 recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-1947s). On May 9, 2012 the Senate adopted “Without Objection Rule 3-7 is Suspended to Allow Non-Germane Amendment 1947s, 2/3 necessary”. The committee's amendment (1947s) was adopted on a roll call 19–5 on May 9, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On May 9, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 30, 2012 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM #1947s(NT) (Rep Renzullo)” 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 15, 2012, making it Chapter 225 of the session laws.
