The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0411s). The committee's amendment (0411) 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 roll call 24–0 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 13, 2014 and was referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 15, 2014. The committee met in executive session on April 22, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 18–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On April 30, 2014 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 325–3. On April 30, 2014 the House failed “Reconsider” 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. The bill was enrolled on May 15, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 27, 2014, making it Chapter 152 of the session laws.
