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 28, 2014. The committee met in executive session on February 20, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0304h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0304h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 5, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On March 5, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 6, 2014 and was referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 19, 2014. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1245s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1245s) 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 8, 2014 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment #1245s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Porter. 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 June 11, 2014, making it Chapter 100 of the session laws. It took effect on August 10, 2014.
