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 2012-0542s). The committee's amendment (0542s) was rejected on a voice vote on February 8, 2012. A floor amendment (2012-0546s), offered by Sen. Barnes, was adopted on a voice vote on February 8, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On February 8, 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 and May 2, 2012. The committee met in executive session on May 8, 2012 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 14–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2007h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2007h) 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 “Sen. Barnes Concurs with House Amendment #2007h” on a voice vote. 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 188 of the session laws. It took effect on June 11, 2012.
