The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 17, 2024, with one person signed in online in opposition. The committee met in executive session on January 22, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-0224h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-0224h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 1, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On February 1, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. 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 20, 2024. The committee's amendment (2024-1851s) 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 2024-1851s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 28, 2024 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate Amendment 2024-1851s and Requests CofC (Reps. Lynn, Wallace, M. Smith, Goley)” on a voice vote. On May 30, 2024 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Howard Pearl. A committee of conference met on June 4, 2024 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. The Senate adopted the conference report (2024-2228c) on a voice vote. On June 13, 2024 the House adopted the conference report (2024-2228c) on a voice vote. 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 August 2, 2024, making it Chapter 333 of the session laws.
