The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 3, 2011. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 8–2. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On February 15, 2011 the House adopted “Special Order to Feb 16”. On February 16, 2011 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 267–92. On February 16, 2011 the bill was referred to the Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 10, 2011. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on October 11, 2011. The committee met in executive session on October 25, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 13–2 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2718h), 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 (2718h) was adopted on a roll call 179–118 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 211–83.
