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 March 5, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 13, 2014 the Senate adopted “Special Ordered to the call of the Chair, Without Objection”. On March 13, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it on a roll call 14–9 and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 20, 2014 and was referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 3, 2014. The committee held a work session on April 16, 2014. The committee met in executive session on April 22, 2014 and May 1, 2014. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1694h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2014-1694h) was adopted on a division vote 176–112 on May 14, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On May 14, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 164–124. On May 22, 2014 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Boutin.
