The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 13, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0975s). The committee's amendment (2018-0975s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 8, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On March 8, 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 and was referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 28, 2018. The committee met in executive session on April 4, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 21–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1285h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-1285h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 19, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On April 19, 2018 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 26, 2018 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. French. On May 2, 2018 the Senate adopted “Reconsider the vote to Concur” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Soucy. On May 2, 2018 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Daniel Innis. The bill was enrolled on May 10, 2018 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 8, 2018, making it Chapter 215 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2019.
