The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 1, 2011. The committee held a work session on February 8, 2011. The committee met in executive session on February 16, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on February 23, 2011. On February 23, 2011 the House adopted “Recommit (Rep C.McGuire)” on a voice vote. The committee met in executive session on March 2, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on April 26, 2011, August 2, 2011, September 27, 2011, October 4, 2011 and October 18, 2011. The committee met in executive session on October 27, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2809h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2809h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 4, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On January 4, 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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-1880s). The committee's amendment (1880s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 2, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On May 2, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 16, 2012 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM #1880s (Rep C.McGuire)” on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment (2383e) was adopted on May 23, 2012. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 30, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2012-2383e) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 5, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 11, 2012, making it Chapter 171 of the session laws.
