The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2017 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 19, 2017. The committee met in executive session on February 8, 2017 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 8, 2017 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 9, 2017 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2017. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2017-1990s). On May 31, 2017 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Daniel Innis. On May 31, 2017 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Daniel Innis. On May 31, 2017 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2017-2551s). The committee's amendment (2017-2551s) 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 April 5, 2018 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2551s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Hagan. The bill was enrolled on April 19, 2018 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 15, 2018, making it Chapter 18 of the session laws.
