The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 13, 2024, with 40 people signed in online: 38 in support and 2 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on February 20, 2024 and March 5, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-0957h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-0957h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 14, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On March 14, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 2024 and was referred to the Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 16, 2024. The committee's amendment (2024-1694s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 15, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On May 15, 2024 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2024-1694s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 30, 2024 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2024-1694s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Steven Smith. The bill was enrolled on June 13, 2024 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 19, 2024, making it Chapter 221 of the session laws.
