The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 1, 2022. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 16, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1203s). On March 31, 2022 the Senate adopted “Special Order to the end of the Regular Calendar, Without Objection”. The committee's amendment (2022-1203s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 31, 2022, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2022-1302s), offered by Sen. Giuda, was adopted on a voice vote on March 31, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On March 31, 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 31, 2022 and was referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 8, 2022. The committee met in executive session on April 8, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 21–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. A floor amendment (2022-1614h), offered by Rep. Abbas, was adopted on a voice vote on April 21, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On April 21, 2022 the House failed “Lay SB376 on Table” on a division vote 155–156, on a motion by Rep. Jason Osborne. On April 21, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 206–107. On April 21, 2022 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held a work session on April 22, 2022. The committee met in executive session on April 27, 2022 to vote on its recommendation.
