The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2013. The committee met in executive session on February 21, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 6, 2013 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 7, 2013 and was referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 3, 2013. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 18, 2013 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 24, 2013 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 16, 2013, making it Chapter 24 of the session laws.
