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 3, 2011. The committee met in executive session on March 9, 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 27, 2011 and October 6, 2011. The committee met in executive session on October 20, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a work session on November 1, 2011. The committee met in executive session on November 1, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 14–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2694h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on January 4, 2012. The committee's amendment (2694h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 11, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On January 11, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 211–99. It crossed to the Senate on February 15, 2012 and was referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 26, 2012. The committee voted unanimously, 7–0, to recommend that the Senate study it after the session ends, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 9, 2012 the Senate adopted “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote.
