The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 22, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it 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 12–1 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 15, 2018, making it Chapter 52 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2019.
