The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 11, 2015. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 19, 2015 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 31, 2015. The committee met in executive session on April 7, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-1226h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1226h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 15, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On April 15, 2015 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 30, 2015 the Senate adopted “Sen. Birdsell Concurs with House Amendment #1226h” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 7, 2015 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 5, 2015, making it Chapter 103 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2016.
