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 17, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 15, 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 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 committee voted 11–3 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 150 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2019.
