The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Finance committee. The committee met in executive session on February 16, 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 14, 2021. The committee met in executive session on October 26, 2021 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 21–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2021-2117h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2021-2117h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 6, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On January 6, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate and was referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 15, 2022. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On March 24, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on March 31, 2022 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on April 18, 2022, making it Chapter 19 of the session laws.
