The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 5, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-1167s). The committee's amendment (2019-1167s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 28, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On March 28, 2019 the Senate adopted “Without Objection, Sen. Kahn Moved the Question”. On March 28, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2019. The committee held a work session on April 30, 2019. The committee met in executive session on May 1, 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 with changes (amendment 2019-1760h) by a vote of 18–2, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-1760h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 23, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On May 23, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 217–130. On June 13, 2019 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes, on a motion by Sen. Cavanaugh. The bill was enrolled on June 27, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor vetoed it on July 19, 2019. The legislature can override a veto with a two-thirds vote in both chambers. On September 19, 2019 the Senate voted 16–8 to override the governor's veto on a roll call, meeting the two thirds threshold. On September 19, 2019 the House voted 210–148 on overriding the governor's veto on a roll call, and the veto was sustained, failing to meet the two thirds threshold.
