The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 29, 2015. The committee met in executive session on February 4, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 18, 2015 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 12, 2015 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 8, 2015. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-1272s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on April 30, 2015. The committee's amendment (1272s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 30, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On April 30, 2015 the Senate adopted the motion that it ought to pass with an amendment on a voice vote, but its third reading was left pending. On April 30, 2015 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. On May 21, 2015 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On May 21, 2015 the Senate adopted “Without Objection the Senate will suspend all rules necessary to allow the consideration of HB 364, 2/3 necessary”. On May 21, 2015 the Senate adopted “Sen. Bradley having voted on the prevailing side Moved Reconsideration on Ought to Pass with Amendment” on a voice vote. A floor amendment (2015-1881s), offered by Sen. Little, was adopted on a voice vote on May 21, 2015, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2015-1885s), offered by Sen. Little, was adopted on a voice vote on May 21, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On May 21, 2015 the Senate adopted “Sec. 1-18” on a voice vote. On May 21, 2015 the Senate adopted “Sec. 19-21” on a roll call 20–4. On May 21, 2015 the Senate adopted “Sec. 22-24” on a roll call 18–6. On May 21, 2015 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 3, 2015 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate Amendments #1881s and #1885s and Requests Committee of Conference (Rep A. Christie)” on a voice vote. On June 4, 2015 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. A committee of conference met on June 10, 2015 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The Senate adopted the conference report (2122c) on a voice vote. The House adopted the conference report (2122c) on a roll call 223–131. 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 229 of the session laws.
