The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2017 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 17, 2017. The committee held work sessions on January 26, 2017 and January 31, 2017. The committee met in executive session on February 1, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0231h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-0231h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 15, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On February 15, 2017 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 16, 2017 and was referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 22, 2017. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 20, 2017 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. An enrolled bill amendment (2017-1573e) was adopted on a voice vote on April 20, 2017. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 4, 2017 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2017-1573e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage.
