The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 19, 2022. The committee met in executive session on February 3, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0634h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2022-0634h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 16, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On February 16, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 183–169. On February 16, 2022 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held a work session on March 14, 2022. The committee met in executive session on March 23, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 21–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 31, 2022 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 31, 2022 and was referred to the Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 11, 2022. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1650s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2022-1650s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 28, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On April 28, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote 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. B. Griffin. 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 201 of the session laws.
