The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2021-0779s). The committee's amendment (2021-0779s) was adopted on a roll call 23–1 on March 18, 2021, changing the text of the bill. On March 18, 2021 the Senate voted to pass it with changes. On March 18, 2021 the Senate voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 1, 2021 the Senate voted to pass it. On April 1, 2021 the Senate voted to pass it and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on April 9, 2021 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a work session on April 22, 2021. The committee held a public hearing on April 27, 2021 on a proposed non-germane amendment (2021-1162h). The committee held work sessions on April 29, 2021 and May 4, 2021. The committee met in executive session on May 11, 2021 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2021-1579h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2021-1579h) was adopted on a voice vote 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. On June 10, 2021 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. On June 10, 2021 the House adopted “House Accedes to Senate Request for CofC” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. McGuire. On June 24, 2021 the House adopted the conference report (2021-1943c) on a voice vote. On June 24, 2021 the Senate adopted the conference report (2021-1943c) on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 24, 2021 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2021-2074e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on August 10, 2021, making it Chapter 205 of the session laws.
