The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2015. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2015-0691h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 14–4. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (0691h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 12, 2015, changing the text of the bill. On March 12, 2015 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 321–18. It crossed to the Senate on March 19, 2015 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 1, 2015. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On April 9, 2015 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2015-3065s). The committee's amendment (3065s) was adopted on a voice vote on January 14, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On January 14, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 6, 2016 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate Amendment 3065s and Requests CofC” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Rowe. On May 12, 2016 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. A committee of conference met on May 24, 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 (2036c) on a voice vote. On June 1, 2016 the House adopted the conference report (2036c) on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 1, 2016 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 21, 2016, making it Chapter 283 of the session laws.
