The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2011 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 22, 2011. The committee met in executive session on February 24, 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 7, 2011, August 30, 2011, September 15, 2011, October 4, 2011 and October 13, 2011. The committee met in executive session on October 26, 2011 and October 27, 2011. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2745h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 16–5. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2745h) 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 271–82. It crossed to the Senate on February 8, 2012 and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 20, 2012. The committee voted unanimously, 6–0, 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.
