The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 2019. The committee met in executive session on February 12, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 27, 2019 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 14, 2019 and was referred to the Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 16, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On June 6, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on June 13, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 10, 2019, making it Chapter 174 of the session laws.
