The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2013. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2013-0235s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0235s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 14, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On February 14, 2013 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.

The committee met in executive session on April 16, 2013 to vote on its recommendation.
