The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2017 and referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2017. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0256s). The committee's amendment (2017-0256s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 9, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On February 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 February 16, 2017 and was referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 11, 2017. The committee held a work session on May 16, 2017. The committee met in executive session on May 17, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, 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 171 of the session laws. It took effect on August 27, 2017.
