The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2013. The committee met in executive session on February 19, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 17–2 to recommend that the House pass it. On March 13, 2013 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 14, 2013 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 11, 2013. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On May 2, 2013 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0050s). The committee's amendment (0050s) was adopted on a voice vote on January 30, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On January 30, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 7, 2014 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment #0050hs” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Pantelakos. An enrolled bill amendment (1817e) 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 (2014-1817eba) 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 14, 2014, making it Chapter 218 of the session laws.
