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 20, 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 11–5. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 10, 2022 the House voted to pass it on a division vote 177–157. It crossed to the Senate and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 23, 2022. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 31, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on April 21, 2022 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 3, 2022, making it Chapter 32 of the session laws.
