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 January 29, 2019. The committee held work sessions on February 7, 2019 and February 26, 2019. The committee met in executive session on March 13, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0996h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-0996h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 20, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On March 20, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 287–60. It crossed to the Senate on March 28, 2019 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 9, 2019. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. 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 32 of the session laws.
