The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On January 30, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it 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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. On March 25, 2014 the House adopted “Vacated to Ways and Means” on a voice vote. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2014. The committee held a work session on April 22, 2014. The committee met in executive session on April 29, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1536h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 16–3. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2014-1536h) was adopted on a division vote 256–87 on May 7, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On May 7, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 236–111. On May 15, 2014 the Senate adopted “Sen. Forrester Concurs with House Amendment #1536h” on a voice vote. 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 (2007eba) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 17, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2014-2007e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on August 1, 2014, making it Chapter 316 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2014.
