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 January 18, 2023. The committee held a work session on March 8, 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, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 22, 2023 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 23, 2023 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2023. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 11, 2023 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The bill was enrolled on June 15, 2023 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2023-2186e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 28, 2023, making it Chapter 152 of the session laws.
