The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2015 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 3, 2015. The committee met in executive session on February 4, 2015 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 18, 2015 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On February 18, 2015 the bill was referred to the Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 17, 2015. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 25, 2015 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 26, 2015 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 14, 2015. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On June 4, 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 2015-3073s). On January 14, 2016 the Senate adopted “Special Order HB 645-FN to the Beginning of the Regular Calendar, Without Objection”. The committee's amendment (3073s) 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 May 11, 2016 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 3073s (Reps. A. Christie, Tholl)” on a voice vote. 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 3, 2016, making it Chapter 161 of the session laws.
