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 18, 2014. The committee met in executive session on February 20, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a work session on 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 2014-0827h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2014-0827h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 19, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On March 19, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 23, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 1, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. 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 28, 2014, making it Chapter 275 of the session laws.
