The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on October 5, 2021. The committee voted unanimously, 21–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 5, 2022 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. 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 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, making it Chapter 50 of the session laws.
