The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 2, 2022. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0458s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2022-0458s) 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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 5, 2022. The committee voted unanimously, 14–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1329h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (1329h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 21, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On April 21, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 12, 2022 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. The bill was enrolled on May 26, 2022 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 17, 2022, making it Chapter 232 of the session laws.
