The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 21, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 18, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 10, 2016 and was referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 29, 2016. The committee held work sessions on April 7, 2016 and April 19, 2016. The committee met in executive session on April 26, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a work session on April 26, 2016. The committee voted 19–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-1604h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2016-1604h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 11, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On May 11, 2016 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 19, 2016 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Prescott. On May 19, 2016 the House adopted “House Accedes to Senate Request for CofC” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. John Hunt. 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.
