The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 20, 2015. The committee met in executive session on February 12, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 4, 2015 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 5, 2015 and was referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2015. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 30, 2015 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 7, 2015 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 2, 2015, making it Chapter 58 of the session laws.
