The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 28, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On February 19, 2014 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 319 to the end of the Commerce Committee, Without Objection”. On February 19, 2014 the Senate rejected a motion to lay it on the table on a roll call 10–14, on a motion by Sen. Cataldo. On February 19, 2014 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it on a roll call 10–14. On February 19, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it on a roll call 15–9 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 13, 2014 and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 22, 2014. The committee met in executive session on April 30, 2014 and May 6, 2014. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1720h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 12–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2014-1720h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 15, 2014, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2014-1833h) was rejected on a roll call 105–179 on May 15, 2014. A floor amendment (2014-1839h) was rejected on a roll call 79–209 on May 15, 2014. On May 15, 2014 the House failed “Amend to Limit Debate to 5" per speaker (Rep C. McGuire)” on a division vote 110–176. On May 16, 2014 the House failed “Lay SB319 on Table (Rep Jones)” on a roll call 117–174. On May 16, 2014 the House adopted “Previous Question” on a roll call 231–61. On May 16, 2014 the House adopted “Uphold Ruling of the Chair” on a roll call 192–99. On May 16, 2014 the House failed “Rep Baldasaro Amendment to Limit Debate to 4"” on a roll call 144–147. On May 16, 2014 the House failed “Limit Debate to 30" (Rep Shurtleff)” on a roll call 143–150. On May 16, 2014 the House failed “Lay Bill on Table (Rep Jasper)” on a roll call 86–152. On May 16, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 162–100. On May 16, 2014 the House failed “Reconsideration (Rep Shurtleff)”. On May 22, 2014 the Senate rejected a motion to reject the other chamber's changes on a division vote 10–13, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. On May 22, 2014 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a roll call 14–9, on a motion by Sen. Soucy. On May 22, 2014 the Senate adopted “Reconsideration on Concurrence with House Amendment #1720h” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On May 22, 2014 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a roll call 14–9. On May 22, 2014 the Senate again adopted “Reconsideration on Concurrence with House Amendment #1720h” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On May 22, 2014 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a roll call 13–10. The bill was enrolled on May 28, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor.
