The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 16, 2016. The committee met in executive session on March 1, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House kill it. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0797h) by a vote of 7–6, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2016-0797h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 10, 2016, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2016-0971h), offered by Rep. V. Fraser, was rejected on a division vote 131–165 on March 10, 2016. On March 10, 2016 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 155–146. It crossed to the Senate on March 17, 2016 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 21, 2016.
