The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 19, 2013. The committee met in executive session on February 26, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0121h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0121h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 13, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On March 13, 2013 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 14, 2013 and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2013. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 23, 2013 the Senate adopted “Without Objection, HB 581 is Special Ordered to the Beginning of the Regular Calendar, 2/3 Necessary”. On May 23, 2013 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on June 13, 2013 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 28, 2013, making it Chapter 155 of the session laws.
