The Story

It was introduced on February 12, 2015 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 11, 2015. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0833s). The committee's amendment (0833s) 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 on March 19, 2015 and was referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 24, 2015. The committee met in executive session on March 25, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-1116h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1116h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 1, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On April 1, 2015 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 9, 2015 the Senate adopted “Sen. Carson Concurs with House Amendment #1116h” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on April 9, 2015 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on April 10, 2015, making it Chapter 1 of the session laws. It took effect on April 10, 2015.
