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 15, 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 pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2017. The committee met in executive session on April 4, 2017 to vote on its recommendation.
