The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 30, 2019. The committee met in executive session on February 5, 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 by a vote of 13–4, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On February 14, 2019 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On February 14, 2019 the bill was referred to the Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 26, 2019. The committee met in executive session on March 5, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 14, 2019 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 2019 and was referred to the Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 8, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 30, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it 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 (2019-2454e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 19, 2019, making it Chapter 266 of the session laws.
