The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 30, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On March 15, 2018 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it on a voice vote. A floor amendment (2018-1078s), offered by Sen. Sharon Carson, was adopted on a roll call 18–6 on March 15, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On March 15, 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 on March 15, 2018 and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 27, 2018. The committee met in executive session on April 11, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 26, 2018 the House voted to kill it on a division vote 170–101.
