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 15, 2014. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0107s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0107s) was adopted on a voice vote on January 30, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On January 30, 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 Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 1, 2014. The committee met in executive session on April 15, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 23, 2014 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote.
