The Story

It was introduced on February 14, 2023 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 7, 2023. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2023-0882s). On March 16, 2023 the Senate adopted “Special Order to the beginning of the Regular Calendar, Without Objection”. The committee's amendment (2023-0882s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 16, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On March 16, 2023 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 16, 2023 and was referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 29, 2023. The committee met in executive session on March 30, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2023-1259h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-1259h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 4, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On May 4, 2023 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On June 1, 2023 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson.
