The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2017 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held public hearings on January 25, 2017 and February 15, 2017. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0570s). The committee's amendment (2017-0570s) 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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 11, 2017. The committee held a work session on April 18, 2017. The committee met in executive session on April 26, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 19–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 4, 2017 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 11, 2017 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 16, 2017, making it Chapter 148 of the session laws. It took effect on August 15, 2017.
