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 31, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0519h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 16, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. The committee's amendment (2022-0519h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 16, 2022, changing the text of the bill. 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 majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 12–9. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 31, 2022 the House failed “Lay HB1552 on Table” on a roll call 124–221, on a motion by Rep. Peter Leishman. On March 31, 2022 the House rejected a motion to kill it on a division vote 88–258. 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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 13, 2022. On April 28, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate study it after the session ends, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 28, 2022 the Senate failed “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote. A floor amendment (2022-1747s), offered by Sen. James Gray, was adopted on a voice vote on April 28, 2022, changing the text of the bill. 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 24, 2022, making it Chapter 267 of the session laws.
