The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 10, 2018. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0090s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-0090s) was adopted on a voice vote on January 18, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On January 18, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 7, 2018 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 27, 2018. The committee met in executive session on March 27, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 11–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 5, 2018 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On April 5, 2018 the bill was referred to the Finance committee, whose chair waived the referral under House Rule 46(f). 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 25, 2018, making it Chapter 101 of the session laws. It took effect on July 24, 2018.
