The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 20, 2019. The committee met in executive session on March 6, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 18–1 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 14, 2019 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 2019 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 18, 2019 the Senate adopted “Special Order to the end of the calendar, Without Objection”. On April 18, 2019 the Senate adopted “Special Order to the present time, Without Objection”. On April 18, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it 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 29 of the session laws.
