The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 3, 2015. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0498s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (0498s) 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 Judiciary committee. The House withdrew that referral and sent the bill to the Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee instead. The committee held a public hearing on April 9, 2015. The committee met in executive session on April 21, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-1213h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1213h) 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 May 21, 2015 the Senate adopted “Sen. Carson Concurs with House Amendment #1213h” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 3, 2015 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 12, 2015, making it Chapter 146 of the session laws. It took effect on August 11, 2015.
