The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 2, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 4, 2016 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 11, 2016 and was referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 29, 2016. The committee met in executive session on April 6, 2016 and April 12, 2016. The committee voted unanimously, 8–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-1350h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2016-1350h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 20, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On April 20, 2016 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 20, 2016 the bill was referred to the Finance committee, whose chair waived the referral under House Rule 46(f). On May 19, 2016 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Forrester. On May 19, 2016 the Senate adopted “Reconsider the Vote on Nonconcur” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Soucy. On May 19, 2016 the Senate rejected a motion to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Forrester. On May 19, 2016 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sanborn. The bill was enrolled on June 1, 2016 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 10, 2016, making it Chapter 255 of the session laws. It took effect on June 30, 2016.
