The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a work session on January 21, 2022. The committee met in executive session on February 7, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 17–2 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0551h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On February 17, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (2022-0551h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 17, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On February 17, 2022 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held work sessions on March 1, 2022, March 9, 2022 and March 22, 2022. The committee met in executive session on March 23, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 18–3 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1151h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2022-1151h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 31, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On March 31, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 218–100. It crossed to the Senate on March 31, 2022 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 13, 2022. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1683s). The committee's amendment (2022-1683s) 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, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On May 5, 2022 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it. On May 5, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it 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. McGuire. 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 203 of the session laws.
