The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0106s). The committee's amendment (2019-0106s) was adopted on a roll call 24–0 on January 31, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On January 31, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 20, 2019 and was referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2019. The committee met in executive session on April 24, 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 2019-1523h) by a vote of 12–8, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-1523h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 8, 2019, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2019-1842h), offered by Rep. Sullivan, 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 roll call 216–146. On May 8, 2019 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held a work session on May 15, 2019. The committee met in executive session on May 22, 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 11–9, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On June 5, 2019 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 207–140. On June 13, 2019 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes, on a motion by Sen. D'Allesandro. 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 August 9, 2019. The legislature can override a veto with a two-thirds vote in both chambers. On September 19, 2019 the Senate voted 14–10 on overriding the governor's veto on a roll call, and the veto was sustained, failing to meet the two thirds threshold.
