The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 8, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2016-1035s). The committee's amendment (1035s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 24, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On March 24, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 5, 2016. The committee held a work session on April 12, 2016. The committee met in executive session on April 26, 2016 and May 3, 2016. The committee voted 19–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-1729h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2016-1729h) 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. Sharon Carson. On May 19, 2016 the House adopted “House Accedes to Senate Request for CofC” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Rowe.
