The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2015. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0709s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 12, 2015. On March 12, 2015 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On March 26, 2015 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. The committee's amendment (0709s) was rejected on a voice vote on March 26, 2015. A floor amendment (2015-1110s), offered by Sen. Sharon Carson, was adopted on a voice vote on March 26, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On March 26, 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 Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 14, 2015. The committee met in executive session on April 21, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 11–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-1336h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1336h) 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 #1336h” 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 16, 2015, making it Chapter 150 of the session laws.
