The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 30, 2024, with 40 people signed in online: 4 in support and 36 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on February 21, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 16–3 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-0505h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-0505h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 7, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On March 7, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 7, 2024 and was referred to the Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2024. The committee voted 3–1 to recommend that the Senate pass it. On April 18, 2024 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading.
