The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2023 and referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 25, 2023. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2023-0438s). The committee's amendment (2023-0438s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 22, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On February 22, 2023 the Senate voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2023-1145s). The committee's amendment (2023-1145s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 30, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On March 30, 2023 the Senate rejected a motion to pass it with changes. On March 30, 2023 the Senate adopted “Reconsideration on the vote on Ought to Pass as Amended” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Kevin Avard. On March 30, 2023 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on April 6, 2023 and was referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 25, 2023. The committee met in executive session on April 26, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On May 4, 2023 the House voted to kill it and bar the subject for the rest of the term on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Susan Almy.
