The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate send it back to committee, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 4, 2021 the Senate voted to send it back to committee. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2021-2221s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2021-2221s) was rejected on a voice vote on January 5, 2022. A floor amendment (2021-2297s), offered by Sen. James Gray, was adopted on a voice vote on January 5, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On January 5, 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 18, 2022. The committee met in executive session on April 18, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, 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 May 27, 2022, making it Chapter 123 of the session laws. It took effect on May 27, 2022.
