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, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 4, 2021 the Senate voted to pass it 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 unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2021-1155h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
