The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the House Special Committee on Redistricting committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 21, 2012. On February 22, 2012 the House adopted “House Rules Suspension to Allow Reporting Deadline Be Moved to March 22, 2012 (Rep Mirski)” on a voice vote. The committee held work sessions on March 6, 2012 and March 8, 2012. The committee held a public hearing on March 12, 2012. The committee voted 14–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1192h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1192h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 21, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On March 21, 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 Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 18, 2012.
