The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2013. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2013-0744s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 14, 2013. On March 14, 2013 the Senate adopted “Without Objection Rule 3-17 is Suspended to Allow Non-Germane Amendment 0744s, NT, Without Objection, 2/3 necessary” on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (0744s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 14, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On March 14, 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 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, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 24, 2013 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment (1410e) was adopted on April 24, 2013. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 8, 2013 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2013-1410e) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 9, 2013 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 6, 2013, making it Chapter 65 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2014.
