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 February 11, 2014. The committee held work sessions on February 14, 2014, February 20, 2014 and March 4, 2014. The committee met in executive session on March 4, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a work session on March 6, 2014. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0896h) by a vote of 9–5, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The minority of the committee reported: Refer to Interim Study. On March 19, 2014 the House adopted “Special Order to 3-20-2014” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Billie Butler. The committee's amendment (2014-0896h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 20, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On March 20, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 165–124. It crossed to the Senate and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 1, 2014. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate study it after the session ends, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 17, 2014 the Senate adopted “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote.
