The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2017 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 17, 2017. The committee held a work session on January 25, 2017. The committee met in executive session on January 25, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 14–3 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On February 9, 2017 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On February 9, 2017 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 7, 2017. The committee met in executive session on March 8, 2017 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 19–2, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 23, 2017 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 23, 2017 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 25, 2017. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2017-1698s). The committee's amendment (2017-1698s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 18, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On May 18, 2017 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 1, 2017 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate Amendment 1698s and Requests CofC (Reps. Hunt, Major)” on a voice vote. On June 8, 2017 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Daniel Innis. A committee of conference met on June 14, 2017 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 22, 2017 the Senate adopted the conference report (2017-2329c) on a roll call 21–2. On June 22, 2017 the House adopted the conference report (2329c) on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 22, 2017 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 18, 2017, making it Chapter 232 of the session laws.
