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 8, 2017. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2017-0568s). The committee's amendment (2017-0568s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 9, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On March 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 kill it. On March 23, 2017 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 215-FN to the Next Session, Without Objection”. On March 29, 2017 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 215-FN to 03/30/2017, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On March 30, 2017 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it. On March 30, 2017 the Senate voted to pass it and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 11, 2017. The committee met in executive session on April 25, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2017-1527h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-1527h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 4, 2017, changing the text of the bill. On May 4, 2017 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 4, 2017 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held a work session on May 9, 2017. The committee met in executive session on May 17, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on September 28, 2017. The committee met in executive session on November 8, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 26–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2017-2511h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-2511h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 3, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On January 3, 2018 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On February 15, 2018 the Senate rejected a motion to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Reagan. On February 15, 2018 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Feltes. The bill was enrolled on March 14, 2018 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on March 21, 2018, making it Chapter 6 of the session laws. It took effect on May 20, 2018.
