The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee met in executive session on March 2, 2021 and March 3, 2021. The committee voted 18–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2021-0582h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2021-0582h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 7, 2021, changing the text of the bill. On April 7, 2021 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on April 8, 2021 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2021-1297s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2021-1297s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 13, 2021, changing the text of the bill. On May 13, 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 2021-1297s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. John Hunt. 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 144 of the session laws.
