The Story

It was introduced on January 19, 2017 and referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0254s). On February 9, 2017 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 80 to the beginning of the Regular Calendar, Without Objection”. The committee's amendment (2017-0254s) 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 April 11, 2017. The committee held a work session on April 18, 2017. The committee met in executive session on April 18, 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 May 4, 2017 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On May 4, 2017 the bill was referred to the Municipal and County Government committee, whose chair waived the referral under House Rule 46(f). 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 8, 2017, making it Chapter 109 of the session laws. It took effect on June 8, 2017.
