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 February 10, 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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 24, 2016. The committee met in executive session on March 29, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 15–2, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On April 20, 2016 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 11, 2016 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 20, 2016, making it Chapter 123 of the session laws.
