The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 28, 2014. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0284s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on February 6, 2014. The committee's amendment (0284s) was rejected on a voice vote on February 6, 2014. A floor amendment (2014-0434s), offered by Sen. Sanborn, was adopted on a voice vote on February 6, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On February 6, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on March 13, 2014 and was referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 1, 2014. The committee held work sessions on April 8, 2014 and April 15, 2014. The committee met in executive session on April 22, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1465h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 9–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2014-1465h) was adopted on a division vote 179–125 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 177–141. 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. Sanborn Concurs with House Amendment #1465h” 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 July 18, 2014, making it Chapter 198 of the session laws.
