The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2012. The committee voted 11–3 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0643h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0643h) 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. It crossed to the Senate on February 15, 2012 and was referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-1763s). The committee's amendment (1763s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 25, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On April 25, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 15, 2012 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM #1763s(NT) (Rep C.McGuire)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 23, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 7, 2012, making it Chapter 146 of the session laws.
