The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0493h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2022-0493h) 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.
