The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2023 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 15, 2023. The committee held a work session on March 7, 2023. The committee met in executive session on March 8, 2023 and March 15, 2023. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2023-1024h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 12–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-1024h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 23, 2023, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2023-1103h), offered by Reps. Ames and Doucette, was adopted on a voice vote on March 23, 2023, changing the text of the bill. It crossed to the Senate on March 23, 2023 and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. On March 23, 2023 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2023. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2023-1911s). The committee's amendment (2023-1911s) 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 and ordered it to a third reading. On June 8, 2023 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate Amendment 2023-1911s and Requests CofC (Reps. L. Sanborn, Janigian, Doucette, Almy)” on a voice vote. On June 15, 2023 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Timothy Lang. A committee of conference met on June 20, 2023 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill.
