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 January 25, 2018. The committee held work sessions on February 2, 2018, February 6, 2018, February 13, 2018 and February 14, 2018. The committee met in executive session on February 21, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 14–4 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0684h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-0684h) 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 March 28, 2018. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 26, 2018 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 05/02/2018, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On May 2, 2018 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it. A floor amendment (2018-1691s), offered by Sen. James Gray, 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 1691s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. J. Belanger. 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 241 of the session laws.
