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 24, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On February 8, 2012 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 2/15/12, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On February 15, 2012 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it on a voice vote. A floor amendment (2012-0827s), offered by Sen. Kelly, was adopted on a voice vote on February 15, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On February 15, 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 22, 2012 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 27, 2012. The committee met in executive session on May 8, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 8–6 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On May 15, 2012 the House rejected a motion to pass it on a division vote 102–142. On May 15, 2012 the House adopted “Lay On The Table (Rep Bettencourt)” on a division vote 208–86. On May 16, 2012 the House failed “Remove From The Table (Rep Weed)” on a roll call 118–211. On May 16, 2012 the House failed “Remove From The Table (Rep Baldasaro)” on a roll call 146–166. On May 17, 2012 the House failed “Remove From The Table (Rep Bettencourt)” on a division vote 97–148. The bill died on the table when the session ended on June 27, 2012, having been set aside and never taken back up.
