The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2013. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2013-0124s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0124s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 14, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On February 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 Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 16, 2013. The committee met in executive session on April 24, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on May 8, 2013. On May 8, 2013 the House adopted “Special Order to Next Session in Regular Calendar Order (Rep Porter)” on a voice vote. On May 29, 2013 the House adopted “Special Order to End of Today's Regular Calendar (Rep Tucker)” on a division vote 275–45. A floor amendment (2013-1728h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 29, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On May 29, 2013 the House failed “Lay on the Table (Rep LeBrun)” on a roll call 86–244. On May 29, 2013 the House failed “Recommit (Rep Flanagan)” on a division vote 98–229. On May 29, 2013 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 254–74. On June 6, 2013 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Boutin. The bill was enrolled on June 12, 2013 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2039e) was adopted to correct technical errors found after passage. An enrolled bill amendment (2013-2039e) was adopted on a voice vote on June 12, 2013. These correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 10, 2013, making it Chapter 214 of the session laws. It took effect on September 8, 2013.
