The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2019 and referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 2019. The committee held a work session on February 12, 2019. The committee met in executive session on February 13, 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 2019-0418h) by a vote of 12–6, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-0418h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 27, 2019, changing the text of the bill. On February 27, 2019 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 199–133. On February 27, 2019 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held work sessions on March 6, 2019 and March 13, 2019. The committee met in executive session on March 27, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on October 22, 2019. The committee met in executive session on November 12, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 13–7 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-2786h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-2786h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 8, 2020, changing the text of the bill. On January 8, 2020 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 215–141. It crossed to the Senate on January 8, 2020 and was referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 3, 2020. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 11, 2020 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 03/12/2020, Without Objection”. On March 12, 2020 the Senate adopted “Without Objection, Sen. Morgan Moved the Question”. A floor amendment (2020-1197s), offered by Sen. Bradley, was rejected on a roll call 10–14 on March 12, 2020. On March 12, 2020 the Senate rejected a motion to lay it on the table, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On March 12, 2020 the Senate voted to pass it and ordered it to a third reading. An enrolled bill amendment (2020-1503e) was adopted on a voice vote on June 11, 2020. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 29, 2020 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2020-1503e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on June 30, 2020 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor vetoed it on July 10, 2020. The legislature can override a veto with a two-thirds vote in both chambers. On September 16, 2020 the House voted 195–143 on overriding the governor's veto on a roll call, and the veto was sustained, failing to meet the two thirds threshold.
