The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2017 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 31, 2017. The committee met in executive session on February 7, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 8, 2017 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 9, 2017 and was referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 5, 2017. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2017-1395s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-1395s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 20, 2017, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2017-1446s), offered by Sen. Ruth Ward, 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 May 18, 2017 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 1395s and 1446s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. J. Belanger. The bill was enrolled on June 1, 2017 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 16, 2017, making it Chapter 143 of the session laws.
