The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 29, 2014. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0694s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0694s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 6, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On March 6, 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 19, 2014 and was referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 3, 2014. The committee met in executive session on April 15, 2014 and April 22, 2014. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1443h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2014-1443h) 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 voice vote. 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. Boutin Concurs with House Amendment #1443h” 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 27, 2014, making it Chapter 131 of the session laws.
