The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2021-0027h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2021-0027h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 24, 2021, changing the text of the bill. On February 24, 2021 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On February 24, 2021 the bill was referred to the Finance committee, whose chair waived the referral under House Rule 47(f). It crossed to the Senate on March 4, 2021 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On May 6, 2021 the Senate voted to pass it and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on June 3, 2021 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 10, 2021, making it Chapter 72 of the session laws.
