The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2014. The committee met in executive session on January 23, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 14–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 6, 2014 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 19, 2014 and was referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 12, 2014. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1242s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on April 17, 2014. On April 17, 2014 the Senate adopted “Without Objection Rule 3-17 is Suspended to Allow Non-Germane Amendment 1242s, NT, 2/3 necessary”. The committee's amendment (1242s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 17, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On April 17, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 23, 2014 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment #1242s”, on a motion by Rep. Porter. The bill was enrolled on May 5, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 6, 2014, making it Chapter 7 of the session laws.
