The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2023 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 18, 2023. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2023-0569s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-0569s) 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 Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2023. The committee held a work session on May 3, 2023. The committee met in executive session on May 10, 2023 to vote on its recommendation.
