The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 12, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0823s). The committee's amendment (2019-0823s) was adopted on a roll call 14–10 on March 14, 2019, changing the text of the bill. 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 Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2019. The committee held a work session on April 23, 2019. The committee met in executive session on May 14, 2019 and May 28, 2019. The minority of the committee recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-1713h). The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it by a vote of 12–6, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On June 5, 2019 the House voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Ley.
