The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2013. The committee held a work session on February 14, 2013. The committee met in executive session on February 19, 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 14, 2013, August 13, 2013, September 3, 2013, September 17, 2013 and October 15, 2013. The committee met in executive session on November 7, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2013-2358h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2358h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 8, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On January 8, 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 Health, Education and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 29, 2014. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 8, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. An enrolled bill amendment (1872e) was adopted on a voice vote on May 15, 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 (2014-1872eba) 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 July 11, 2014, making it Chapter 165 of the session laws.
