The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 10, 2018. The committee held work sessions on January 25, 2018 and January 31, 2018. The committee met in executive session on February 21, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 14–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 6, 2018 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 8, 2018 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 12, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 26, 2018 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 25, 2018, making it Chapter 79 of the session laws.
