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, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 18, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0262s). The committee's amendment (2018-0262s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 1, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On February 1, 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 20, 2018. The committee met in executive session on March 20, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, 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. The committee held a work session on April 10, 2018. The committee met in executive session on April 11, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 25–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On April 19, 2018 the House voted to pass it on a division vote 268–60.
