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 February 12, 2014. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 13, 2014. On March 13, 2014 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 378 to 3/27/14, Without Objection, 2/3 nec”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 27, 2014 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on April 1, 2014 and was referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 8, 2014. The committee met in executive session on April 15, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1304h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1304h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 23, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On April 23, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 1, 2014 the Senate adopted “Sen. Boutin Concurs with House Amendment #1304h” on a voice vote. 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 147 of the session laws.
