The Story

It was introduced on January 29, 2015 and referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 17, 2015. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0510s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0510s) 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 Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 24, 2015.
