The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 2015. The committee met in executive session on February 12, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 15–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0221h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0221h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 18, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On February 18, 2015 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On February 18, 2015 the bill was referred to the Finance committee, whose chair waived the referral. It crossed to the Senate on March 5, 2015 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 31, 2015. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-1490s). The committee's amendment (1490s) 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 3, 2015 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment #1490s (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 6, 2015, making it Chapter 201 of the session laws. It took effect on September 4, 2015.
