The Story
It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 8, 2022. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0653s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2022-0653s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 16, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On February 16, 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 Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 7, 2022. The committee held a work session on April 14, 2022. The committee met in executive session on April 20, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, 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. An enrolled bill amendment (2022-2091e) was adopted on a voice vote on May 12, 2022. These correct technical errors found after passage.
