The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 16, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0609s). The committee's amendment (0609s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 3, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On March 3, 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 on March 10, 2016 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 22, 2016. The committee met in executive session on March 29, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 6, 2016 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On April 6, 2016 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held work sessions on April 18, 2016 and April 26, 2016.

The committee held a public hearing on April 26, 2016 on a proposed non-germane amendment (2016-1531h). The committee held work sessions on April 27, 2016 and May 3, 2016.

The bill was enrolled on June 1, 2016 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2016-2110e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 15, 2016, making it Chapter 263 of the session laws.
