The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 17, 2015. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 26, 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 Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2015. The committee held work sessions on April 14, 2015 and May 5, 2015. The committee met in executive session on May 12, 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 June 3, 2015 the House voted to pass it 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 215 of the session laws.
