The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2018 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration 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 adopted “Special Order to 02/22/2018, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 22, 2018 the Senate adopted “Special Order to the next session, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 8, 2018 the Senate voted to pass it and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House 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 minority of the committee recommended that the House study it after the session ends. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2018-1461h) by a vote of 11–8, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2018-1461h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 2, 2018, changing the text of the bill. On May 2, 2018 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 10, 2018 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. 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 (2018-2081e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on June 25, 2018, making it Chapter 334 of the session laws. It took effect on June 30, 2018.
