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 with changes (amendment 2021-0617s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. Part of the committee's amendment (2021-0617s) was adopted on a roll call 19–5, changing the text of the bill. Part of the committee's amendment (2021-0617s) was rejected on a roll call 12–12. On March 11, 2021 the Senate adopted “Reconsideration on Committee Amendment #2021-0617s Sections 166 and 178, RC 24Y-0N”, on a motion by Sen. Soucy. Part of the committee's amendment (2021-0617s) was rejected on a roll call 10–14. On March 11, 2021 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a work session on May 6, 2021. The committee met in executive session on May 18, 2021 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a work session on May 18, 2021. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2021-1531h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2021-1531h) 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 24, 2021 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2021-2056e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on August 10, 2021, making it Chapter 197 of the session laws.
