The Story

It was introduced on February 19, 2014 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 11, 2014. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2014-0971s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0971s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 27, 2014, changing the text of the bill. On March 27, 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 April 1, 2014 and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 8, 2014. The committee met in executive session on April 22, 2014 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2014-1454h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
