The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2023 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2023. The committee held a work session on March 7, 2023. The committee met in executive session on March 8, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2023-0780h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-0780h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 22, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On March 22, 2023 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 23, 2023 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2023. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2023-1312s). The committee's amendment (2023-1312s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 13, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On April 13, 2023 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 4, 2023 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2023-1312s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. John Hunt.
