The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2019. The committee held a work session on February 5, 2019. The committee met in executive session on February 20, 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 March 7, 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 Ways and Means committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 15, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on June 6, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 10, 2019, making it Chapter 178 of the session laws.
