The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 1, 2011. The committee met in executive session on February 15, 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 September 20, 2011, September 27, 2011, October 18, 2011 and October 25, 2011. The committee met in executive session on October 25, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2758h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2758h) 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. On January 4, 2012 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 25, 2012. The committee held a work session on February 7, 2012.

The committee's amendment (1033h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 28, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On March 28, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.

The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-1762s). The committee's amendment (1762s) 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.

These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 17, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2012-2290e) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage.
