The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2023 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2023. The committee met in executive session on February 28, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 16, 2023 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 16, 2023 and was referred to the Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 28, 2023. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 13, 2023 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on May 11, 2023 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 19, 2023, making it Chapter 41 of the session laws.
