The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2021-0214s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2021-0214s) was adopted on a roll call 23–1 on February 11, 2021, changing the text of the bill. On February 11, 2021 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 25, 2021 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee voted 14–4 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2021-0901h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2021-0901h) was adopted on a division vote 350–25 on June 3, 2021, changing the text of the bill. On June 3, 2021 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote.
