The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2018. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1005s). The committee's amendment (2018-1005s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 8, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On March 8, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1158s). The committee's amendment (2018-1158s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 22, 2018, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2018-1159s), offered by Sen. Feltes, was rejected on a roll call 4–19 on March 22, 2018. On March 22, 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 22, 2018 and was referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held public hearings on April 4, 2018 and April 10, 2018. The committee held work sessions on April 11, 2018 and April 17, 2018. The committee met in executive session on April 18, 2018 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House kill it. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1535h) by a vote of 22–1, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-1535h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 26, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On April 26, 2018 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 241–50. On May 2, 2018 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sanborn. On May 10, 2018 the Senate adopted “suspend all rules necessary to permit the consideration of SB 564-FN; 2/3 necessary” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On May 10, 2018 the Senate adopted “Reconsider the following action taken by this body on SB 564: the vote on Concur with the House Amendment” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On May 10, 2018 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sanborn. On May 10, 2018 the House adopted “House Accedes to Senate Request for CofC” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Major. On May 23, 2018 the House adopted the conference report (1972c) on a roll call 259–79. On May 23, 2018 the Senate adopted the conference report (2018-1972c) 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 (2018-2101e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on May 30, 2018, making it Chapter 157 of the session laws. It took effect on July 29, 2018.
