The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 11, 2014. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0707s). The committee's amendment (0707s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 6, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On March 6, 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 20, 2014 and was referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2014. The committee met in executive session on April 8, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On April 16, 2014 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 186–153. On April 17, 2014 the bill was referred to the Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 29, 2014. The committee met in executive session on May 6, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1701h), by a vote of 11–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee minority's amendment (2014-1701h) was rejected on a roll call 144–188 on May 14, 2014. On May 14, 2014 the House rejected a motion to lay it on the table on a roll call 141–187. On May 14, 2014 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 190–137. 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 208 of the session laws.
