The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 2014. The committee held a work session on January 23, 2014. The committee met in executive session on January 28, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 10–7 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0264h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. A floor amendment (0264H) was adopted on a voice vote on February 6, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On February 6, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On February 6, 2014 the bill was referred to the Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee, whose chair declined the referral under House Rule 46(f). It crossed to the Senate on February 19, 2014 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 25, 2014. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1161s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1161s) 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 May 7, 2014 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment #1161s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Billie Butler. The bill was enrolled on May 15, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 11, 2014, making it Chapter 172 of the session laws.
