The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 11, 2022. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0070s). The committee's amendment (2022-0070s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 3, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On February 3, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 17, 2022 and was referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2022. The committee met in executive session on April 18, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 4, 2022 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. 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 June 15, 2022, making it Chapter 183 of the session laws. It took effect on June 15, 2022.
