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 10, 2011. The committee met in executive session on February 15, 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 a work session on October 4, 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 majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2645h), and the minority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2813h), by a vote of 12–2. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2645h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 4, 2012, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2011-2820h) was rejected on a voice vote on January 4, 2012. On January 4, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.

The committee met in executive session on February 16, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 17–2 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0831h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
