The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2017 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 25, 2017. The committee met in executive session on February 21, 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 with changes (amendment 2017-0524h) by a vote of 11–9, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-0524h) 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 roll call 187–160. It crossed to the Senate on March 9, 2017 and was referred to the Senate Election Law and Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 28, 2017. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 27, 2017 the Senate voted to pass it and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 4, 2017 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 2, 2017, making it Chapter 67 of the session laws.
