The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 2, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-1409s). The committee's amendment (1409s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 28, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On March 28, 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 29, 2012 and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2012. The committee held a work session on May 1, 2012.
