The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2023 and referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 26, 2023. The committee held work sessions on February 3, 2023, February 9, 2023 and March 6, 2023. The committee met in executive session on March 15, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a public hearing on March 15, 2023 on a proposed non-germane amendment (2023-0767h). The committee held a work session on March 15, 2023. The committee voted 23–2 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2023-0892h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-0892h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 23, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On March 23, 2023 the House adopted “Reconsider 2023-0892h” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Jess Edwards. The committee's amendment (2023-0892h) was adopted on a division vote 200–179 on March 23, 2023, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2023-1104h), offered by Reps. Edwards, M. Pearson, Lynn, Long and Grossman, was adopted on a roll call 276–104 on March 23, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On March 23, 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 Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2023. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 13, 2023 the Senate adopted “Special Order to the beginning of the Regular Calendar, Without Objection”. On April 13, 2023 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. An enrolled bill amendment (2023-1369e) was adopted on a voice vote on April 13, 2023. These correct technical errors found after passage. The bill was enrolled on April 13, 2023 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2023-1369e) was considered to correct technical errors found after passage. On April 13, 2023 the Senate adopted “Enrolled, Without Objection”. The governor signed it on April 13, 2023, making it Chapter 2 of the session laws.
