The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Transportation committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2024, with one person signed in online in opposition. The committee met in executive session on January 30, 2024 and February 13, 2024. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-0637h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–9. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-0637h) was adopted on a roll call 180–167 on March 7, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On March 7, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 179–166. On March 7, 2024 the House failed “Reconsider HB1118” on a division vote 167–178, on a motion by Rep. Joe Sweeney. It crossed to the Senate on March 7, 2024 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 7, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate study it after the session ends. On May 22, 2024 the Senate adopted “Special Order to the end of the calendar on 05/23/2024, Without Objection”. On May 23, 2024 the Senate adopted “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote.
