The Story
It was introduced on January 4, 2012 and referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held public hearings on January 5, 2012 and January 19, 2012. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2012-0427s). The committee's amendment (0427s) 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 Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 12, 2012. The committee held work sessions on March 27, 2012, April 3, 2012, April 17, 2012 and May 1, 2012. The committee voted unanimously, 10–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1929h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1929h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 9, 2012, changing the text of the bill. On May 9, 2012 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 23, 2012 the Senate adopted “Sen. Morse Concurs with House Amendment #1929h” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 6, 2012 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 20, 2012, making it Chapter 277 of the session laws. It took effect on June 20, 2012.
