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 22, 2011. The committee held a work session on February 24, 2011. 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 June 15, 2011, August 16, 2011, August 23, 2011, October 4, 2011 and October 6, 2011. The committee met in executive session on October 27, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 14–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2757h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2757h) 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 22, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate study it after the session ends. On April 18, 2012 the Senate adopted “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote.
