The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 12, 2024, with 66 people signed in online: 64 in support and 2 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on January 19, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. A floor amendment (2024-0385h), offered by Rep. JD Bernardy, was rejected on a roll call 168–201 on February 1, 2024. On February 1, 2024 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 366–5. It crossed to the Senate on February 21, 2024 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 27, 2024. On May 15, 2024 the Senate adopted “Special Order to Beginning of Calendar, Without Objection”. The committee's amendment (2024-1721s) was adopted on a roll call 14–10 on May 15, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On May 15, 2024 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. The committee voted 3–2 to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2024-1721s). On May 30, 2024 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate Amendment 2024-1721s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Michael Moffett.
