The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2023 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 17, 2023. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On February 22, 2023 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 03/16/2023, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On March 16, 2023 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 03/30/2023, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On March 30, 2023 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. On March 30, 2023 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it on a voice vote. A floor amendment (2023-1251s), offered by Sen. Cindy Rosenwald, was rejected on a voice vote on March 30, 2023. A floor amendment (2023-1226s), offered by Sen. James Gray, was withdrawn. On March 30, 2023 the Senate adopted “Reconsider the vote on: Floor Amendment 2023-1251” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Daryl Abbas. A floor amendment (2023-1251s), offered by Sen. Cindy Rosenwald, was rejected on a roll call 11–12 on March 30, 2023. A floor amendment (2023-1226s), offered by Sen. James Gray, was adopted on a roll call 13–10 on March 30, 2023, changing the text of the bill. It crossed to the House on April 6, 2023 and was referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 19, 2023. The committee met in executive session on April 19, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a work session on April 26, 2023. The committee met in executive session on May 2, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2023-1490h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-1490h) was adopted on a voice vote on June 8, 2023, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2023-1834h), offered by Rep. Hynes, was rejected on a division vote 43–323 on June 8, 2023. A floor amendment (2023-1835h), offered by Rep. T. Mannion, was rejected on a voice vote on June 8, 2023.

The bill was enrolled on June 29, 2023 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on August 4, 2023, making it Chapter 227 of the session laws. It took effect on August 4, 2023.
