The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 13, 2022. The committee held work sessions on January 26, 2022, February 2, 2022, February 10, 2022 and February 24, 2022. The committee met in executive session on March 9, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0471h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 12–11. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 17, 2022 the House adopted “Special Order HB1221” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Jason Osborne. The committee's amendment (2022-0471h) was adopted on a roll call 227–99 on March 17, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On March 17, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 177–141. It crossed to the Senate on March 17, 2022 and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 30, 2022. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1528s). On April 21, 2022 the Senate adopted “Without Objection, Rule 3-17 is Suspended to Allow Non-Germane Amendment #2022-1528s ; 2/3 Necessary”. Part of the committee's amendment (2022-1528s) was adopted on a roll call 14–10, changing the text of the bill. Part of the committee's amendment (2022-1528s) was adopted on a roll call 24–0, changing the text of the bill. On April 21, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it with changes. On April 21, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1840s). The committee's amendment (2022-1840s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 5, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On May 5, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it with changes. On May 5, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 5, 2022 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate Amendment 2022-1840s 2022-1528s and Requests CofC (Reps. Abrami, Bershtein, Janigian, Lang)” on a voice vote. On May 12, 2022 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Giuda. A committee of conference met on May 18, 2022 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On May 26, 2022 the Senate adopted the conference report (2022-2050c) on a roll call 24–0. On May 26, 2022 the House adopted the conference report (2022-2050c) on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 26, 2022 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 17, 2022, making it Chapter 189 of the session laws.
