The committee met in executive session on February 6, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0617h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 11–4. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On February 15, 2012 the House adopted “Special Order to End of Next Week's Regular Calendar” on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (0617h) 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 division vote 211–104. It was introduced on March 28, 2012 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 3, 2012.
