The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2011 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 3, 2011. The committee met in executive session on February 16, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 18–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 23, 2011 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 16, 2011 and was referred to the Senate Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 31, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2011-1439s). The committee's amendment (1439s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 20, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On April 20, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On May 4, 2011 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On January 18, 2012 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it on a voice vote. On January 18, 2012 the Senate adopted “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Morse.
