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 February 21, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0996s). The committee's amendment (2018-0996s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 15, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On March 15, 2018 the Senate rejected a motion to pass it with changes. On March 15, 2018 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On March 22, 2018 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. On March 22, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 22, 2018 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 11, 2018. The committee met in executive session on April 24, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1678h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-1678h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 2, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On May 2, 2018 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 10, 2018 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. The bill was enrolled on May 23, 2018 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 12, 2018, making it Chapter 259 of the session laws. It took effect on August 11, 2018.
