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 16, 2018. The committee met in executive session on January 16, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 11–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0152h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-0152h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 8, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On February 8, 2018 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 15, 2018 and was referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 14, 2018. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1802s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 3, 2018 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 05/03/2018, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1802s). The committee's amendment (2018-1802s) was rejected on a voice vote on May 3, 2018. A floor amendment (2018-1855s), offered by Sen. James Gray, was adopted on a voice vote on May 3, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On May 3, 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 1855s” 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 246 of the session laws.
