The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2011 and referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 13, 2011. The committee held a work session on January 19, 2011. The committee met in executive session on January 20, 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 May 19, 2011. The committee met in executive session on October 6, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 10–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2270h), 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 (2270h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 1, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On February 1, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 243–102. It crossed to the Senate on April 11, 2012 and was referred to the Senate Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 1, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On May 9, 2012 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it on a roll call 9–15. On May 9, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.
