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 30, 2018. The committee held work sessions on February 6, 2018 and February 14, 2018. The committee met in executive session on February 20, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 14–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0608h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-0608h) 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, and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
