The Story

It was introduced on January 19, 2017 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 1, 2017. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0239s). The committee's amendment (2017-0239s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 9, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On February 9, 2017 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 16, 2017 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 29, 2017. The committee met in executive session on April 12, 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 April 20, 2017 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote.
