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 17, 2012. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 25, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it 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 Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2012. The committee held a work session on May 1, 2012. The committee met in executive session on May 1, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1775h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1775h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 9, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On May 9, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 16, 2012 the Senate adopted “Sen. Barnes Concurs with House Amendment 1775h” on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment (2351e) was adopted on May 17, 2012. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 30, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2012-2351e) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 5, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 11, 2012, making it Chapter 181 of the session laws. It took effect on August 10, 2012.
