The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee voted 11–8 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2021-0269h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2021-0269h) was adopted on a division vote 205–145 on February 24, 2021, changing the text of the bill. On February 24, 2021 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On February 24, 2021 the House adopted “Reconsider” on a roll call 203–137, on a motion by Rep. Wuelper. On February 24, 2021 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 203–147. On February 24, 2021 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held a work session on March 9, 2021. The committee met in executive session on March 29, 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 recommended that the House pass it. On January 6, 2022 the House voted to pass it on a division vote 282–66. It crossed to the Senate and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1133s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2022-1133s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 24, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On March 24, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. 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 — and an enrolled bill amendment (2022-2127e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 1, 2022, making it Chapter 289 of the session laws.
