The Story

It was introduced on January 19, 2017 and referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2017. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On March 9, 2017 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 216-FN to Next Session, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On March 16, 2017 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 216-FN to the next session, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On March 23, 2017 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 216-FN to the Next Session, Without Objection”. On March 29, 2017 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 216-FN to 03/30/2017, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On March 30, 2017 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it on a voice vote. On March 30, 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 Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 11, 2017. The committee held work sessions on April 25, 2017, May 10, 2017 and May 23, 2017. The committee met in executive session on May 24, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 25–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2017-1997h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-1997h) 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. Daniels. 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 204 of the session laws. It took effect on July 5, 2017.
