The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 19, 2013. The committee met in executive session on March 5, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0488h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0488h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 13, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On March 13, 2013 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 14, 2013 and was referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2013. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 23, 2013 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on June 13, 2013 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor.
