The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 10, 2022. The committee met in executive session on February 18, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0730h), and the minority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0688h), by a vote of 11–10. The report was placed on the regular calendar. A floor amendment (0370h) was rejected on a roll call 163–165 on March 16, 2022. The committee minority's amendment (2022-0688h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 16, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On March 16, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 17, 2022 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2022. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 14, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 12, 2022 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 20, 2022.
