The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 17, 2015. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on September 15, 2015 and October 13, 2015. The committee met in executive session on October 14, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 12–7 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-2481h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2015-2481h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 20, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On January 20, 2016 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 182–137. It crossed to the Senate on February 18, 2016 and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 1, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On April 28, 2016 the Senate adopted “Special Order HB 594 to the present time, Without Objection”. On April 28, 2016 the Senate voted to kill it.
