The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2017 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 11, 2017. The committee met in executive session on January 17, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 19–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 26, 2017 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 16, 2017 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2017. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 20, 2017 the Senate adopted “refer HB 143 back to Judiciary” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate send it back to committee, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 31, 2017 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2017-2544s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-2544s) was rejected on a voice vote on January 3, 2018. A floor amendment (2018-0028s), offered by Sen. Sharon Carson, was adopted on a voice vote on January 3, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On January 3, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On March 15, 2018 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 0028s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Welch. The bill was enrolled on March 21, 2018 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor vetoed it on March 30, 2018. The legislature can override a veto with a two-thirds vote in both chambers. On September 13, 2018 the House voted 255–89 to override the governor's veto on a roll call, meeting the two thirds threshold. On September 13, 2018 the Senate voted 23–1 to override the governor's veto on a roll call, meeting the two thirds threshold. On September 13, 2018 the House voted to override the governor's veto, meeting the two thirds threshold.
