The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1091s). The committee's amendment (2018-1091s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 21, 2018, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2018-1134s), offered by Sen. Bradley, was adopted on a roll call 14–9 on March 21, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On March 21, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading.
