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 15, 2023. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2023-0575s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-0575s) 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 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 House withdrew that referral and sent the bill to the Environment and Agriculture committee instead. The committee held a public hearing on April 25, 2023. The committee held a work session on May 9, 2023. The committee met in executive session on May 9, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 18, 2023 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 8, 2023 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 20, 2023, making it Chapter 103 of the session laws. It took effect on June 20, 2023.
