The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 2015. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 12, 2015 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 4, 2015 and was referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 8, 2015. The committee held a work session on April 9, 2015. The committee met in executive session on April 16, 2015 to vote on its recommendation.

The bill was enrolled on May 7, 2015 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 5, 2015, making it Chapter 102 of the session laws.
