The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 9, 2012. The committee met in executive session on February 21, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 10–2 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0963h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0963h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 8, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On March 8, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 19, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 2, 2012 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 5/9/12, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (2012-2029s), offered by Sen. Forsythe, was adopted on a voice vote 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 17, 2012 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate AM #2029s and Requests C of C (Rep E.Hogan)” on a voice vote. On May 23, 2012 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Houde. A committee of conference met on May 29, 2012 and May 30, 2012 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The Senate adopted the conference report (2445c) on a voice vote. The House adopted the conference report (2445c) 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 262 of the session laws.
