The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 28, 2015. The committee met in executive session on February 4, 2015, February 17, 2015 and March 3, 2015. The committee voted 17–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0429h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0429h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 11, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On March 11, 2015 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 19, 2015 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 12, 2015. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-1952s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on June 4, 2015. The committee's amendment (1952s) was adopted on a voice vote on June 4, 2015, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2015-2003s), offered by Sen. Stiles, was adopted on a voice vote on June 4, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On June 4, 2015 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 11, 2015 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendments #1952s and #2003s (Rep Rowe)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 24, 2015 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 13, 2015, making it Chapter 225 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2016.
