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 24, 2017. The committee met in executive session on February 1, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 15, 2017 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 16, 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 20, 2017 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 27, 2017 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 2, 2017, making it Chapter 72 of the session laws.
