The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 19, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0841s). The committee's amendment (2019-0841s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 14, 2019, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2019-1055s), offered by Sen. Feltes, was adopted on a voice vote on March 14, 2019, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2019-1057s), offered by Sen. Bradley, was rejected on a roll call 10–14 on March 14, 2019. On March 14, 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 Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2019. The committee held work sessions on May 2, 2019 and 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 2019-2129h) by a vote of 12–8, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-2129h) was adopted on a division vote 208–144 on June 5, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On June 5, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 6, 2019 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Cavanaugh. On June 6, 2019 the House adopted “House Accedes to Senate Request for CofC” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Billie Butler.
