The Story

It was introduced on February 3, 2011 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 24, 2011. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2011-0759s). The committee's amendment (0759s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 16, 2011, changing the text of the bill. On March 16, 2011 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 17, 2011 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2011. The committee met in executive session on April 19, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 14–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1483h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on April 27, 2011. On April 27, 2011 the House adopted “Recommit (Rep C.McGuire)” on a voice vote. The committee held a work session on May 10, 2011. The committee met in executive session on May 17, 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 June 2, 2011. The committee met in executive session on October 11, 2011 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 9–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2592h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2592h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 5, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On January 5, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 2, 2012 the Senate adopted “Sen. Carson Concurs with House Amendment #2592h” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 15, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 23, 2012, making it Chapter 80 of the session laws. It took effect on July 22, 2012.
