The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 23, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On February 14, 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 Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 16, 2019. The committee met in executive session on April 23, 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 17–3, and the report was placed on the regular 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 18, 2019, making it Chapter 84 of the session laws. It took effect on August 17, 2019.
