The Story

It was introduced on January 31, 2013 and referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 13, 2013. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 7, 2013 the Senate voted to pass it 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.
