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 2012-0995s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0995s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 7, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On March 7, 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 8, 2012 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2012. The committee held a work session on 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, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 15, 2012 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment (2345e) 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 (2012-2345e) 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 189 of the session laws.
