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 January 16, 2014. The committee met in executive session on February 4, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 19, 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 Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 15, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 24, 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 July 14, 2014, making it Chapter 224 of the session laws.
