The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 15, 2019. The committee met in executive session on January 17, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 18–2 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 31, 2019 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 7, 2019 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-1948s). On May 23, 2019 the Senate adopted “Special Order to the next session, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-1948s). The committee's amendment (2019-1948s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 30, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On May 30, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 13, 2019 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 1948s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Cushing. The bill was enrolled on June 27, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 12, 2019, making it Chapter 211 of the session laws.
