The Story
It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee met in executive session on March 11, 2021 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on September 15, 2021. The committee voted 8–7 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2021-2116h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2021-2116h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 5, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On January 5, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 189–163. It crossed to the Senate on January 5, 2022 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 8, 2022. 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 March 17, 2022 the Senate adopted “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote.
