The Story
It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. It crossed to the Senate on April 1, 2021 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. On April 7, 2021 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On April 7, 2021 the House failed “Reconsider” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Jason Osborne. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2021-1593s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2021-1593s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 27, 2021, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2021-1678s), offered by Sen. Sharon Carson, was adopted on a voice vote on May 27, 2021, changing the text of the bill. On May 27, 2021 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 10, 2021 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2021-1593s and 2021-1678s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Gregory Hill. The bill was enrolled on June 24, 2021 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 23, 2021, making it Chapter 143 of the session laws.
