The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the Senate Public and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On February 15, 2018 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 02/22/2018, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On February 22, 2018 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it. A floor amendment (2018-0793s), offered by Sen. Bill Gannon, was adopted on a roll call 22–0 on February 22, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On February 22, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 7, 2018 and was referred to the House Municipal and County Government 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 minority of the committee recommended that the House pass it. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it by a vote of 11–7, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On April 19, 2018 the House rejected a motion to kill it on a roll call 147–185. 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 148 of the session laws. It took effect on April 1, 2018.
