The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 13, 2022. The committee met in executive session on February 3, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 20–1. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 10, 2022 the House voted to pass it on a division vote 294–43. It crossed to the Senate and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 6, 2022. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 14, 2022 the Senate adopted “Special Order to Next Session, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (2022-1561s), offered by Sen. Sharon Carson, was adopted on a voice vote on April 21, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On April 21, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. On May 12, 2022 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Gordon.
