The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 30, 2019. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0205s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-0205s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 14, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On February 14, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 20, 2019 and was referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2019. The committee held a work session on April 10, 2019. The committee met in executive session on April 18, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 12–7 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-1545h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-1545h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 8, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On May 8, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 8, 2019 the bill was referred to the Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 15, 2019. The committee held a work session on May 16, 2019. The committee met in executive session on May 21, 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 2019-2030h) by a vote of 17–4, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-2030h) was adopted on a voice vote on June 5, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On June 5, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 223–125. On June 13, 2019 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. The bill was enrolled on June 27, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 12, 2019, making it Chapter 234 of the session laws.
