The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 26, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2016-0369s). On February 4, 2016 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 464 to after SB 522, Without Objection”. On February 4, 2016 the Senate adopted “Sec. 1, 2, 3, and 5” on a roll call 24–0. On February 4, 2016 the Senate adopted “Sec. 4, RC 14Y-10N; Ought to Pass with Amendment 0369s” and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 11, 2016 and was referred to the House Ways and Means 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 regular 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 a public hearing on April 14, 2016. The committee held work sessions on April 18, 2016, April 19, 2016, April 25, 2016, April 27, 2016 and May 3, 2016. The committee met in executive session on May 4, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 26–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-1853h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2016-1853h) 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 agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Forrester. 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 (2016-2129e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 15, 2016, making it Chapter 264 of the session laws. It took effect on June 15, 2016.
