The committee voted unanimously, 10–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0606h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0606h) 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.
