The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2013. The committee held work sessions on January 30, 2013 and February 19, 2013. The committee met in executive session on February 19, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a work session on February 21, 2013. The committee met in executive session on March 5, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on May 21, 2013 and October 22, 2013. The committee met in executive session on October 22, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2013-2298h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on January 9, 2014. The committee's amendment (2298h) was adopted on a division vote 263–13 on February 6, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On February 6, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 19, 2014 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 18, 2014. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 17, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. An enrolled bill amendment (1579e) was adopted on a voice vote on May 1, 2014. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 8, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2014-1579eba) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 14, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 27, 2014, making it Chapter 31 of the session laws. It took effect on July 26, 2014.
