The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 10, 2015. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0818s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0818s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 19, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On March 19, 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 and was referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2015. The committee met in executive session on April 21, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 13–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-1382h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1382h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 29, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On April 29, 2015 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 29, 2015 the bill was referred to the Finance committee, whose chair waived the referral under House Rule 46(f). On June 4, 2015 the Senate adopted “Sen. Prescott Concurs with House Amendment #1382h” 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 7, 2015, making it Chapter 214 of the session laws.
