The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2021-0033s). The committee's amendment (2021-0033s) was adopted on a roll call 24–0 on February 4, 2021, changing the text of the bill. On February 4, 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 Ways and Means committee. The committee voted unanimously, 24–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On June 3, 2021 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 10, 2021 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 1, 2021, making it Chapter 99 of the session laws. It took effect on August 30, 2021.
