The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 29, 2013.

On February 14, 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 Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 11, 2013. The committee met in executive session on April 16, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1278h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1278h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 24, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On April 24, 2013 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
