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 30, 2019. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2019-1046s). The committee's amendment (2019-1046s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 21, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On March 21, 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 and was referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2019. The committee met in executive session on April 25, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The minority of the committee recommended that the House pass it. The majority of the committee recommended that the House kill it by a vote of 12–8, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On June 5, 2019 the House voted to kill it on a division vote 224–125.
