The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2020 and referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2020. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2020-0780s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2020-0780s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 5, 2020, changing the text of the bill. 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 study it after the session ends. 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.
