The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (2020-1010s), offered by Sen. Fuller Clark, was adopted on a voice vote on March 5, 2020, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2020-1099s), offered by Sen. Bradley, was rejected on a voice vote on March 5, 2020. On March 5, 2020 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On June 16, 2020 the Senate adopted “Placed on Laid on Table Consent List and Laid on Table” on a voice vote. The bill died on the table under Senate Rule 3-23 at adjournment on September 16, 2020, having been set aside and never taken back up.
