The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 13, 2014. The committee met in executive session on February 20, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 14–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 12, 2014 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 27, 2014 and was referred to the Senate Rules, Enrolled Bills and Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 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. An enrolled bill amendment (1782e) was adopted on a voice vote on May 8, 2014. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 15, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2014-1782eba) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 22, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 11, 2014, making it Chapter 181 of the session laws.
