The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2017 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2017. The committee held work sessions on February 1, 2017, February 8, 2017 and February 15, 2017. The committee met in executive session on February 23, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a work session on February 23, 2017. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0611h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-0611h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 8, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On March 8, 2017 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 9, 2017 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2017. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On May 11, 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 2017-2549s). On January 3, 2018 the Senate adopted “Rerefer” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0110s). The committee's amendment (2018-0110s) was adopted on a roll call 21–3 on January 18, 2018, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2018-0172s), offered by Sen. Kahn, was rejected on a roll call 4–20 on January 18, 2018. On January 18, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On February 15, 2018 the Senate adopted “Special Order to the Call of the Chair, Without Objection”. On February 15, 2018 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it. A floor amendment (2018-0611s), offered by Sen. Bradley, was adopted on a voice vote on February 15, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On February 15, 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 Non-Concurs with Senate Amendment 0110s and 0611s and Requests CofC” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. McGuire. On May 2, 2018 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. A committee of conference met on May 15, 2018 and May 16, 2018 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On May 23, 2018 the Senate adopted the conference report (2018-2055c) on a voice vote. On May 23, 2018 the House adopted the conference report (2055c) on a voice vote.
