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 February 14, 2012. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-1140s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1140s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 21, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On March 21, 2012 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.
