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 31, 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. On February 15, 2018 the Senate adopted “Reconsideration on the vote of Ought to Pass” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On February 15, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 7, 2018 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2018. The committee met in executive session on April 24, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 18–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On May 2, 2018 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 23, 2018 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2018-1940e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 25, 2018, making it Chapter 328 of the session laws. It took effect on June 25, 2018.
