The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2017 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 14, 2017. The committee held a work session on February 28, 2017. The committee met in executive session on March 1, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 19–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0680h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-0680h) 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. It crossed to the Senate on March 9, 2017 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 29, 2017. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 11, 2017 the Senate adopted “Special Order HB 575 to the present time, Without Objection”. A floor amendment (2017-1649s), offered by Sen. Sharon Carson, was adopted on a voice vote on May 11, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On May 11, 2017 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 1, 2017 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate Amendment 1649s and Requests CofC” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. McGuire. On June 8, 2017 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. A committee of conference met on June 13, 2017 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 22, 2017 the Senate adopted the conference report (2017-2291c) on a voice vote. On June 22, 2017 the House adopted the conference report (2291c) on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 22, 2017 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2017-2382e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 18, 2017, making it Chapter 246 of the session laws.
