The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the Senate Commerce 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 2013-0867s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0867s) 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 Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 23, 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. On May 8, 2013 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 20, 2013 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 20, 2013, making it Chapter 95 of the session laws.
