The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2019. The committee held a work session on February 6, 2019. The committee met in executive session on February 12, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House kill it. The majority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0475h) by a vote of 11–8, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-0475h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 7, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On March 7, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 207–148. It crossed to the Senate on March 14, 2019 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 21, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-2335s). The committee's amendment (2019-2335s) 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 2335s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Marjorie Smith. The bill was enrolled on June 27, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2019-2557e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 29, 2019, making it Chapter 293 of the session laws.
