The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 17, 2018. The committee held a work session on January 24, 2018. The committee met in executive session on January 24, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House kill it. The committee voted 13–10 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0155h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 6, 2018 the House adopted “Suspend House Rule 65 (Reps. Hinch, Shurtleff)” on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (2018-0155h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 15, 2018, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2018-0831h), offered by Rep. Lang, was adopted on a voice vote on March 15, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On March 15, 2018 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 168–147. On March 15, 2018 the House failed “Reconsider HB 1686” on a division vote 146–171, on a motion by Rep. Hinch. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 2018 and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 26, 2018 the Senate adopted “Special Order to the present time, Without Objection”. On April 26, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 2, 2018 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 05/03/2018, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (2018-1861s), offered by Sen. Feltes, was rejected on a roll call 10–14 on May 3, 2018. On May 3, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 10, 2018 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 28, 2018, making it Chapter 341 of the session laws.
