The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2016 and referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 27, 2016. The committee recommended that the Senate study it after the session ends. On March 10, 2016 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 482 to 03/17/2016, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate study it after the session ends. On March 17, 2016 the Senate failed “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote. A floor amendment (2016-1078s), offered by Sen. Fuller Clark, was adopted on a voice vote on March 17, 2016, changing the text of the bill. On March 17, 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 23, 2016 and was referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 19, 2016. The committee met in executive session on April 26, 2016 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House kill it. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2016-1452h) by a vote of 12–4, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2016-1452h) 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. Regina Birdsell. 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 (2016-2114e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 16, 2016, making it Chapter 271 of the session laws. It took effect on June 16, 2016.
