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 6, 2014. The committee held work sessions on February 21, 2014 and March 4, 2014. The committee met in executive session on March 4, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0748h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2014-0748h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 12, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On March 12, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 13, 2014 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 1, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1616s). The committee's amendment (1616s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 8, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On May 8, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 14, 2014 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 28, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 30, 2014, making it Chapter 154 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2015.
