The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 31, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-0804s). The committee's amendment (0804s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 7, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On March 7, 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 March 8, 2012 and was referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 3, 2012. The committee held a work session on May 3, 2012. The committee met in executive session on May 8, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 15–2 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2071h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2071h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 16, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On May 16, 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 #2071h; Requests C of C” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Barnes. On May 24, 2012 the House adopted “House Accedes to Senate Request for Committee of Conference (Rep Bettencourt)” on a voice vote. A committee of conference met on May 25, 2012, May 30, 2012 and May 31, 2012 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill.
