The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 11, 2018. The committee met in executive session on January 11, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 17–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 8, 2018 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 15, 2018 and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 21, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1629s). On April 26, 2018 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 05/02/2018, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1629s). The committee's amendment (2018-1629s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 2, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On May 2, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 10, 2018 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 1629s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Major. The bill was enrolled on May 23, 2018 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 12, 2018, making it Chapter 239 of the session laws.
