The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 14, 2018. The committee met in executive session on February 21, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0738h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-0738h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 6, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On March 6, 2018 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 8, 2018 and was referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2018. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1352s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-1352s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 12, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On April 12, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On April 26, 2018 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 1352s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. J. Belanger. The bill was enrolled on May 3, 2018 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 8, 2018, making it Chapter 168 of the session laws.
