The Story

It was introduced on January 31, 2019 and referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 20, 2019. The committee met in executive session on March 6, 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 work sessions on June 26, 2019 and August 19, 2019. The committee met in executive session on October 2, 2019 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 11–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2019-2705h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2019-2705h) 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 voice vote.
