The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 30, 2019. The committee met in executive session on February 12, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0108h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-0108h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 27, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On February 27, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 14, 2019 and was referred to the Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-2042s). On May 23, 2019 the Senate adopted “Special Order to after Executive Departments and Administration, Without Objection”. On May 23, 2019 the Senate adopted “Special Order to the next session, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-2042s). The committee's amendment (2019-2042s) was adopted on May 30, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On May 30, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. On June 13, 2019 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2042s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Moynihan. 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 (2019-2634e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on August 16, 2019, making it Chapter 334 of the session laws.
