The Story

It was introduced on January 19, 2017 and referred to the Senate Election Law and Internal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 21, 2017. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0538s). The committee's amendment (2017-0538s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 9, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On March 9, 2017 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 9, 2017 and was referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2017. The committee held a work session on May 9, 2017. The committee met in executive session on May 16, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 19–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2017-1770h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-1770h) was adopted on a voice vote on June 1, 2017, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2017-2081h), offered by Rep. Kurk, was adopted on a voice vote on June 1, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On June 1, 2017 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 8, 2017 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Regina Birdsell. The bill was enrolled on June 22, 2017 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 5, 2017, making it Chapter 200 of the session laws.
