The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. 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 Public Works and Highways committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 5, 2021 on a proposed non-germane amendment (2021-1112h). The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2021-1112h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2021-1112h) 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 agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. 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 June 23, 2021, making it Chapter 89 of the session laws. It took effect on August 22, 2021.
