The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 2024, with 51 people signed in online: 35 in support and 16 in opposition. The committee held a work session on February 20, 2024. The committee met in executive session on March 6, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-0454h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 12–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-0454h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 28, 2024, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2024-1366h), offered by Reps. Kuttab and Rochefort, was adopted on a voice vote on March 28, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On March 28, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 8, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (2024-2108s), offered by Sen. Suzanne Prentiss, was adopted on a voice vote on May 22, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On May 22, 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 2024-2108s” on a division vote 325–36, on a motion by Rep. Carol McGuire. On May 30, 2024 the House failed “Lay HB1222 on Table” on a division vote 44–317, on a motion by Rep. Trinidad Tellez. 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 26, 2024, making it Chapter 264 of the session laws.
