The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 2019. The committee held work sessions on February 19, 2019 and March 5, 2019. The committee met in executive session on March 5, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0773h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-0773h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 14, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On March 14, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 2019 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 16, 2019. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 30, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. 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 (2019-2460e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 19, 2019, making it Chapter 264 of the session laws.
