The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 2014. The committee held a work session on February 4, 2014. The committee met in executive session on February 4, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a work session on February 20, 2014. The committee met in executive session on March 4, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 19–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0731h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 25, 2014. The committee's amendment (2014-0731h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 26, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On March 26, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 27, 2014 and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 8, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 17, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 1, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 23, 2014, making it Chapter 28 of the session laws. It took effect on May 23, 2014.
