The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 12, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-0203s). The committee's amendment (0203s) was adopted on a voice vote on January 18, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On January 18, 2012 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 February 8, 2012 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 6, 2012. The committee held work sessions on April 3, 2012, April 9, 2012 and April 11, 2012. The committee met in executive session on May 8, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 12–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1629h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1629h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 15, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On May 15, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 23, 2012 the Senate adopted “Non-concur with House Amendment #1629h; Requests C of C” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. On May 24, 2012 the House adopted “House Accedes to Senate Request for Committee of Conference (Rep Ingbretson)” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on May 29, 2012 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The House adopted the conference report (2425c) on a voice vote. The Senate adopted the conference report (2425c) on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 6, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 18, 2012, making it Chapter 237 of the session laws.
