The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2021-0111s). The committee's amendment (2021-0111s) was adopted on a roll call 24–0 on February 4, 2021, changing the text of the bill. On February 4, 2021 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on February 25, 2021 and was referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee met in executive session on May 13, 2021 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on September 7, 2021 and October 13, 2021. The committee met in executive session on October 26, 2021 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2021-2175h), and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 10–9. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 5, 2022 the House voted to lay it on the table on a division vote 180–155, on a motion by Rep. John Hunt.
