The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 11, 2018. The committee held work sessions on January 23, 2018, January 30, 2018 and February 21, 2018. The committee met in executive session on February 21, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0401h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-0401h) 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 Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 3, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 19, 2018 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 05/03/2018, Without Objection”. On April 26, 2018 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 05/02/2018, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (2018-1876s), offered by Sen. Sanborn, was rejected on a roll call 12–12 on May 2, 2018. On May 2, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. 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 8, 2018, making it Chapter 197 of the session laws.
