The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2014 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2014. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0687s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0687s) 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 voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 20, 2014 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration 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 with changes (amendment 2014-1250h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 11–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2014-1250h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 16, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On April 16, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 172–147. On April 16, 2014 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 22, 2014. The committee held a work session on April 29, 2014. The committee met in executive session on May 6, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1664h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2014-1664h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 14, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On May 14, 2014 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 15, 2014 the House adopted “Rep. Almy moved to accede to request for C of C” on a voice vote. On May 22, 2014 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. A committee of conference met on May 27, 2014 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The House adopted the conference report (1946c) on a roll call 227–122. The Senate adopted the conference report (1946c) on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 4, 2014 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on August 1, 2014, making it Chapter 325 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2015.
