The Story
It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 26, 2016. The committee held work sessions on February 18, 2016 and March 1, 2016. The committee met in executive session on March 1, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 16–4 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0812h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2016-0812h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 10, 2016, changing the text of the bill. 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 Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 19, 2016. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on April 28, 2016. A floor amendment (2016-1609s), offered by Sen. D'Allesandro, was adopted on a voice vote on April 28, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On April 28, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 11, 2016 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate Amendment 1609s and Requests CofC” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. John Hunt. On May 19, 2016 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Prescott. A committee of conference met on May 23, 2016 and May 25, 2016 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 1, 2016 the Senate adopted the conference report (2068c) on a voice vote. On June 1, 2016 the House adopted the conference report (2068c) on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 16, 2016 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2016-2154e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 24, 2016, making it Chapter 313 of the session laws.
