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 20, 2013. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2013-0500s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0500s) 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 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. On April 3, 2013 the bill was referred to the Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2013. The committee met in executive session on April 30, 2013 and May 7, 2013.
