The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2023 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 11, 2023. The committee met in executive session on January 25, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 18–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2023-0119h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-0119h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 2, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On February 2, 2023 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 22, 2023 and was referred to the Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 21, 2023. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2023-1136s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-1136s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 30, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On March 30, 2023 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.
