The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 31, 2024, with 7 people signed in online: 4 in support and 3 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on February 15, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-0415h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 17–2. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-0415h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 7, 2024, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2024-0793h), offered by Rep. Kristine Perez, was adopted on a division vote 324–33 on March 7, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On March 7, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 293–64. It crossed to the Senate on March 7, 2024 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 28, 2024. The committee held a public hearing on April 18, 2024 on a proposed non-germane amendment (2024-1486s). The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2024-1646s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-1646s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 2, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On May 2, 2024 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 30, 2024 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2024-1646s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Bob Lynn. 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 229 of the session laws.
