The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2023 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 19, 2023. The committee held a work session on January 27, 2023. The committee met in executive session on February 8, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2023-0180h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-0180h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 14, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On February 14, 2023 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On February 14, 2023 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held work sessions on February 21, 2023 and March 3, 2023. The committee met in executive session on March 20, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 25–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On April 6, 2023 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 387–0. It crossed to the Senate and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 26, 2023. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2023-1908s). The committee's amendment (2023-1908s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 18, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On May 18, 2023 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On June 1, 2023 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 15, 2023 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2023-1908s (Reps. C. McGuire, Weyler)” on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 29, 2023 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor vetoed it on August 8, 2023. The legislature can override a veto with a two-thirds vote in both chambers. On October 26, 2023 the House voted 251–104 to override the governor's veto on a roll call, meeting the two thirds threshold. On October 26, 2023 the Senate voted 12–11 on overriding the governor's veto on a roll call, and the veto was sustained, failing to meet the two thirds threshold.
