The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 16, 2016. The committee met in executive session on March 2, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0830h). The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0528h) by a vote of 18–5, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2016-0528h) was rejected on a roll call 151–164 on March 10, 2016. The committee minority's amendment (2016-0830h), offered by Rep. Susan Almy, was adopted on a roll call 283–31 on March 10, 2016, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2016-0956h), offered by Rep. Cooney, was rejected on a roll call 112–202 on March 10, 2016. On March 10, 2016 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 17, 2016 and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2016-1463s). On April 28, 2016 the Senate adopted “Special Order HB 1198 to the present time, Without Objection”. The committee's amendment (1463s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 28, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On April 28, 2016 the Senate rejected a motion to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Kelly. On April 28, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. On April 28, 2016 the Senate adopted “Reconsider the following action taken by this Body: Rescind Order to Third Reading, and Reconsider the Vote on Ought to Pass with Amendment” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On April 28, 2016 the Senate again voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. On May 11, 2016 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 1463s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Major. The bill was enrolled on May 19, 2016 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 6, 2016, making it Chapter 208 of the session laws.
