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 February 7, 2013. The committee held work sessions on February 14, 2013 and February 19, 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 23, 2013, September 10, 2013, September 26, 2013, October 3, 2013 and October 22, 2013. The committee met in executive session on October 22, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 14–4 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2013-2305h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2305h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 29, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On January 29, 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 with changes (amendment 2014-1226s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1226s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 17, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On April 17, 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 “Non-Concur with Senate AM and Requests C of C” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Billie Butler. On May 15, 2014 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sanborn. A committee of conference met on May 27, 2014 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The Senate adopted the conference report (1933c) on a voice vote. The House adopted the conference report (1933c) on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment (2009e) was adopted on June 4, 2014. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 4, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2014-2009eba) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 25, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 28, 2014, making it Chapter 259 of the session laws. It took effect on July 28, 2014.
