The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 15, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0293s). The committee's amendment (0293s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 13, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On February 13, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 13, 2014 and was referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 8, 2014. The committee met in executive session on April 16, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1169h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2014-1169h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 30, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On April 30, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 275–23. On April 30, 2014 the House adopted “Third Reading” on a division vote. On April 30, 2014 the House failed “Reconsideration Third Reading (Rep Lambert)” on a roll call 133–202. On May 8, 2014 the Senate adopted “Sen. Carson Concurs with House Amendment #1169h” on a voice vote. 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 107 of the session laws.
