The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee met in executive session on January 24, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 11–6 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0071h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2022-0071h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 10, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On March 10, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. 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.
