The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 12, 2012. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-0750s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0750s) 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 Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 27, 2012. The committee held work sessions on April 3, 2012 and May 1, 2012. The committee held a public hearing on May 10, 2012 on a proposed non-germane amendment (2012-2077h). The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2213h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 13–2. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2213h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 16, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On May 16, 2012 the House failed “Divide Out Sections 3-10 (Rep Weber)” on a roll call 114–224. On May 16, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 235–95. On May 23, 2012 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Houde.
