The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 21, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it 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 9, 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 unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 8, 2019 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 30, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 25, 2019, making it Chapter 140 of the session laws.
