The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 20, 2022. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0999s). The committee's amendment (2022-0999s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 17, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On March 17, 2022 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Kevin Avard. On March 17, 2022 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On March 17, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it with changes 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 and April 27, 2022. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1848h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On May 5, 2022 the House adopted “Lay SB400 on Table” on a division vote 170–159, on a motion by Rep. Wuelper.
