The Story

It was introduced on January 31, 2013 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 13, 2013. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2013-0485s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0485s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 7, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On March 7, 2013 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 21, 2013 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 27, 2013 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee.
