The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2017 and referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held public hearings on January 31, 2017, February 1, 2017 and February 7, 2017. The committee held work sessions on February 8, 2017, February 14, 2017 and February 21, 2017. The committee met in executive session on February 28, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 25–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0656h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-0656h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 8, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On March 8, 2017 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
