The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2017 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2017. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0358s). The committee's amendment (2017-0358s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 16, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On February 16, 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 Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 28, 2017. The committee met in executive session on April 25, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House kill it. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 11–4, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On May 4, 2017 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 328–30. 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 7, 2017, making it Chapter 92 of the session laws.
