The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 3, 2011. The committee met in executive session on March 9, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 9–8 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 15, 2011 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 270–92. It crossed to the Senate on March 23, 2011 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2011-1780s). The committee's amendment (1780s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 11, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On May 11, 2011 the Senate rejected a motion to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 11, 2011 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Luther. The committee recommended that the Senate study it after the session ends. On February 8, 2012 the Senate adopted “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote.
