The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 23, 2013. The committee met in executive session on January 29, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held work sessions on February 12, 2013, February 19, 2013 and February 28, 2013. The committee met in executive session on March 5, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 0633h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0633h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 13, 2013, changing the text of the bill. On March 13, 2013 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 14, 2013 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 1, 2013. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate send it back to committee. On May 23, 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 2014-0049s). The committee's amendment (0049s) 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 #0049s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Lucy Weber. An enrolled bill amendment (1823e) 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 (2014-1823eba) 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 June 16, 2014, making it Chapter 117 of the session laws. It took effect on August 15, 2014.
