The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 3, 2015. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0499s). The committee's amendment (0499s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 5, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On March 5, 2015 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 11, 2015 and was referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 24, 2015. The committee met in executive session on April 7, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 12–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 15, 2015 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on April 29, 2015 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 5, 2015, making it Chapter 23 of the session laws. It took effect on May 5, 2015.
