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 2019-0188s). The committee's amendment (2019-0188s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 14, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On February 14, 2019 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 7, 2019 and was referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 9, 2019. The committee met in executive session on April 16, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On May 2, 2019 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 272–87. The bill was enrolled on May 8, 2019 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 3, 2019, making it Chapter 43 of the session laws. It took effect on June 3, 2019.
