The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2013. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On January 31, 2013 the Senate voted to pass it on a roll call 23–0 and ordered it to a third reading. 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 0547h). The committee's amendment (0547h) was rejected on a voice vote on March 13, 2013. A floor amendment (2013-0708h) 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 roll call 342–7. On March 14, 2013 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Odell. The bill was enrolled on March 19, 2013 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on March 21, 2013, making it Chapter 5 of the session laws. It took effect on May 20, 2013.
