The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 6, 2019. The committee met in executive session on March 13, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-1032h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-1032h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 19, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On March 19, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 28, 2019 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 9, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 25, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 8, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 21, 2019, making it Chapter 110 of the session laws.
