The Story

It was introduced on January 19, 2023 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 1, 2023. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 9, 2023 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 16, 2023 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 30, 2023. The committee met in executive session on May 24, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2023-1636h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-1636h) was adopted on a voice vote on June 8, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On June 8, 2023 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 15, 2023 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Howard Pearl.
