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 February 5, 2015. The committee met in executive session on March 2, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0636h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0636h) was adopted on a division vote 196–103 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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 1, 2015. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-1596s). On May 14, 2015 the Senate adopted “Special Order HB 455-FN to 5/21/15, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-1596s). On May 21, 2015 the Senate adopted “Special Order HB 455-FN to the Next Session, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-1596s). The committee's amendment (1596s) was rejected on a voice vote on May 28, 2015. A floor amendment (2015-1985s), offered by Sen. Sharon Carson, was adopted on a voice vote on May 28, 2015, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2015-1922s), offered by Sen. Sharon Carson, was adopted on a voice vote on May 28, 2015, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2015-1925s), offered by Sen. Fuller Clark, was adopted on a voice vote on May 28, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On May 28, 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 Concurs with Senate Amendment #1985s, #1922s, and #1925s (Rep A. Christie)” on a voice vote. An enrolled bill amendment (2324e) was adopted on a voice vote on June 24, 2015. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 24, 2015 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2015-2324e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. It became law without the governor's signature, as Chapter 259. The governor neither signed it nor returned it, and the docket records it as enacted under Part II, Article 44 of the state constitution.
