The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0899s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-0899s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 8, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On March 8, 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 and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 20, 2018. The committee met in executive session on April 11, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1479h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-1479h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 19, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On April 19, 2018 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 2, 2018 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson.
