The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 8, 2011. The committee held a work session on February 15, 2011. The committee met in executive session on February 22, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 12–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0238h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 2, 2011. The committee's amendment (0238h) was rejected on a voice vote on March 2, 2011. On March 2, 2011 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On March 2, 2011 the bill was referred to the Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 9, 2011. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on June 2, 2011, September 8, 2011, September 20, 2011, October 4, 2011 and October 11, 2011. The committee met in executive session on October 11, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 12–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2710h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2710h) 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 Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 5, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-1766s). The committee's amendment (1766s) 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. On May 15, 2012 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate AM #1766s and Requests C of C (Rep Mirski)” on a voice vote. On May 23, 2012 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Morse. A committee of conference met on May 30, 2012 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The Senate adopted the conference report (2464c) on a voice vote. The House adopted the conference report (2464c) on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 6, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 18, 2012, making it Chapter 247 of the session laws.
