The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2013 and referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2013. The committee held a work session on February 12, 2013. The committee met in executive session on February 14, 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 a work session on October 10, 2013. The committee met in executive session on October 10, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 21–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2279h). The committee's amendment (2279h) 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 division vote 307–4. It crossed to the Senate on February 19, 2014 and was referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 3, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1396s). The committee's amendment (1396s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 1, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On May 1, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 14, 2014 the House voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 28, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 11, 2014, making it Chapter 168 of the session laws.
