The Story

It was introduced on January 19, 2017 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 1, 2017. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 23, 2017 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sanborn. On March 30, 2017 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. A floor amendment (2017-1156s), offered by Sen. Sharon Carson, was adopted on a roll call 20–2 on March 30, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On March 30, 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 and was referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 11, 2017. The committee met in executive session on May 9, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 21–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On June 1, 2017 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 8, 2017 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 28, 2017, making it Chapter 175 of the session laws. It took effect on August 27, 2017.
