The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 23, 2019. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-0095s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-0095s) was adopted on a voice vote on January 31, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On January 31, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it with changes 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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2019. The committee met in executive session on April 10, 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 12–8, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On May 2, 2019 the House voted to pass it on a division vote 211–143. An enrolled bill amendment (2019-1902e) was adopted on a voice vote on May 8, 2019. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on May 23, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2019-1902e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage.
