The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 19, 2013. The committee met in executive session on February 28, 2013 and March 5, 2013. The committee held a work session on March 5, 2013. The committee met in executive session on March 7, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0738h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0738h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 20, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On March 20, 2013 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 2013 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2013. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2013-1296s). The committee's amendment (1296s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 2, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On May 2, 2013 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 22, 2013 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM #1296s (Rep Pantelakos)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 30, 2013 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 28, 2013, making it Chapter 156 of the session laws.
