The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 1, 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 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, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 19, 2018 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on April 26, 2018 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 30, 2018, making it Chapter 133 of the session laws. It took effect on July 29, 2018.
