The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 20, 2016. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0117s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 4, 2016 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 332 to 02/11/2016, Without Objection”. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0117s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on February 11, 2016. The committee's amendment (0117s) was rejected on a voice vote on February 11, 2016. A floor amendment (2016-0401s), offered by Sen. Sharon Carson, was adopted on a voice vote on February 11, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On February 11, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.
