It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 15, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-1422s). On March 28, 2012 the Senate adopted “Special Order to the afternoon session, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-1422s). The committee's amendment (1422s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 28, 2012, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2012-1483s), offered by Sen. Morse, was adopted on a voice vote on March 28, 2012, changing the text of the bill.
