The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 2014. The committee met in executive session on January 21, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, 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. On February 7, 2014 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee. The committee held work sessions on March 6, 2014 and March 10, 2014. The committee met in executive session on March 18, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 25, 2014 the House voted to pass it as part of its consent calendar, which it adopted on a division vote 282–9. It crossed to the Senate on March 27, 2014 and was referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 15, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 15, 2014 the Senate adopted “Special Order HB 1415 to directly after lunch, Without Objection”. On May 15, 2014 the Senate adopted “Special Order HB 1415 to Call of the Chair, Without Objection” on a voice vote. A floor amendment (2014-1879s), offered by Sen. Sanborn, was adopted on a voice vote on May 15, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On May 15, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 15, 2014 the House adopted “Rep. Wallner moved to Non-Concur with Senate AM and request C of C” on a voice vote. On May 22, 2014 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Forrester. A committee of conference met on May 29, 2014 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The Senate adopted the conference report (1992c) on a voice vote. The House adopted the conference report (1992c) on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 4, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on August 1, 2014, making it Chapter 306 of the session laws. It took effect on September 30, 2014.
