The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the Senate Health and Human Services 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 Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee met in executive session on May 10, 2021 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 13–8 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On June 3, 2021 the House rejected a motion to lay it on the table on a division vote 135–237, on a motion by Rep. Klein-Knight. On June 3, 2021 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 240–134. The bill was enrolled on June 24, 2021 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 9, 2021, making it Chapter 115 of the session laws. It took effect on September 7, 2021.
