The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 2019. The committee met in executive session on February 26, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0666h). The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it by a vote of 11–8, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee minority's amendment (2019-0666h) was rejected on a voice vote on March 20, 2019. On March 20, 2019 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 28, 2019 and was referred to the Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2019. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 2, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 15, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 21, 2019, making it Chapter 105 of the session laws.
