The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 2014. The committee held work sessions on January 23, 2014 and January 30, 2014. The committee met in executive session on February 4, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0400h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0400h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 12, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On February 12, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On February 12, 2014 the bill was referred to the Judiciary committee, whose chair declined the referral under House Rule 46(f). It crossed to the Senate on March 13, 2014 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 30, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1638s). The committee's amendment (1638s) 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 16, 2014, making it Chapter 128 of the session laws. It took effect on August 15, 2014.
