The Story

It was introduced on January 2, 2019 and referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2019. The committee met in executive session on January 23, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House pass it. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it by a vote of 11–8, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 31, 2019 the House adopted “Special Order” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Sullivan. On January 31, 2019 the House adopted “Recommit” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Sullivan. The committee met in executive session on February 13, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0335h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-0335h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 27, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On February 27, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 14, 2019 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 18, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 2, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 15, 2019, making it Chapter 22 of the session laws.
