The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2013. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2013-0871s). The committee's amendment (0871s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 21, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On March 21, 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 Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 11, 2013. The committee held a work session on April 23, 2013. The committee met in executive session on May 1, 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. On May 8, 2013 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment (1772e) was adopted on May 8, 2013. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 29, 2013 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2013-1772e) was considered to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 30, 2013 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 28, 2013, making it Chapter 159 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2014.
