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 February 21, 2013. The committee held a work session on February 28, 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 June 4, 2013, June 25, 2013, August 6, 2013, September 10, 2013, September 24, 2013, October 29, 2013 and November 6, 2013. The committee met in executive session on November 12, 2013 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2013-2342h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 13–5. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2342h) 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 roll call 228–92. On January 29, 2014 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee. The committee held a work session on March 6, 2014. The committee met in executive session on March 18, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 17–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. A floor amendment (0977h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 25, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On March 25, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes as part of its consent calendar, which it adopted on a division vote 282–9. It crossed to the Senate on March 27, 2014 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 16, 2014. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1413s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1413s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 24, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On April 24, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1811s). The committee's amendment (1811s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 15, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On May 15, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 15, 2014 the House adopted “Rep. Chandler moved to Non-Concur with Senate AM and request C of C” on a voice vote. On May 22, 2014 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. A committee of conference met on May 23, 2014 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The Senate adopted the conference report (1922c) on a voice vote. The House adopted the conference report (1922c) on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment (2026e) 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 (2014-2026eba) 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 August 1, 2014, making it Chapter 295 of the session laws.
