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 February 5, 2013. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 14, 2013 the Senate voted to pass it 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 10, 2013. The committee met in executive session on April 16, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 1230h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on April 24, 2013. The committee's amendment (1230h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 24, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On April 24, 2013 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 246–101. On May 30, 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 June 12, 2013 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 9, 2013, making it Chapter 203 of the session laws. It took effect on July 9, 2013.
