The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 23, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-0273s). The committee's amendment (2018-0273s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 1, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On February 1, 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 7, 2018 and was referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 27, 2018. The committee held a public hearing on March 27, 2018 on a proposed non-germane amendment (2018-1177h). The committee held a work session on March 28, 2018. The committee met in executive session on March 29, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1270h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-1270h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 5, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On April 5, 2018 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On April 12, 2018 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Daniels. The bill was enrolled on April 12, 2018 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on April 18, 2018, making it Chapter 8 of the session laws. It took effect on April 18, 2018.
