The Story
On February 8, 2012 the bill was referred to the Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 21, 2012. The committee met in executive session on February 21, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–6. The report was placed on the regular calendar. A floor amendment (2012-0998h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 14, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On March 14, 2012 the House voted to pass it on a division vote 204–133. On March 15, 2012 the House adopted “Reconsider Third Reading Motion of March 14 (Reps Jasper and Norelli)” on a voice vote. On March 15, 2012 the House adopted “Third Reading” on a voice vote. It was introduced on March 28, 2012 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 26, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 2, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote 16–8 and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 15, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 23, 2012, making it Chapter 78 of the session laws.
