The Story

It was introduced on January 21, 2016 and referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 2, 2016. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2016-1085s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1085s) 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 State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2016. The committee met in executive session on April 21, 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 by a vote of 9–7, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On May 11, 2016 the House rejected a motion to pass it on a voice vote. On May 11, 2016 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
