The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2017 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 19, 2017. The committee held a public hearing on February 14, 2017 on a proposed non-germane amendment (2017-0286h). The committee met in executive session on February 21, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 10–7 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0286h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-0286h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 9, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On March 9, 2017 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 9, 2017 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2017. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2017-1399s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-1399s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 20, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On April 20, 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 Concurs with Senate Amendment 1399s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Hagan. The bill was enrolled on June 8, 2017 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 28, 2017, making it Chapter 159 of the session laws.
