The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 21, 2013. The committee held a work session on February 28, 2013. The committee met in executive session on March 5, 2013 and March 7, 2013. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0668h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 11–8. The committee's amendment (0668h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 21, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On March 21, 2013 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 208–123. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 2013 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2013. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2013-1712s). The committee's amendment (1712s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 23, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On May 23, 2013 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 5, 2013 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate AM #1712s (Rep Butler)” on a division vote 220–109. The bill was enrolled on June 14, 2013 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 10, 2013, making it Chapter 213 of the session laws.
