The Story

It was introduced on March 9, 2017 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 21, 2017. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 29, 2017 the Senate adopted “Special Order SB 249 to the beginning of Thursday 03/30/2017 Calendar, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 30, 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 Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 18, 2017. The committee met in executive session on April 25, 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 work sessions on June 6, 2017, September 5, 2017 and September 7, 2017. The committee met in executive session on October 17, 2017 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 15–2 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2017-2393h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2017-2393h) 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 January 18, 2018 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson.
