The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2015. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 11, 2015 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 19, 2015 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 16, 2015. The committee held a public hearing on April 28, 2015 on a proposed non-germane amendment (2015-1369s). The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-1477s). On May 7, 2015 the Senate adopted “Without Objection Rule 3-17 is Suspended to Allow Non-Germane Amendment 1477s, 2/3 necessary”. The committee's amendment (1477s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 7, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On May 7, 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 Amendment #1477s (Rep Hunt)” 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 237 of the session laws.
