The Story
It was introduced on January 4, 2023 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 9, 2023. The committee met in executive session on February 24, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2023-0684h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 19–1. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-0684h) was adopted on a roll call 299–84 on March 22, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On March 22, 2023 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 374–9. It crossed to the Senate on March 23, 2023 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2023. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On May 11, 2023 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Keith Murphy. The committee voted 4–1 to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2024-0014s). The committee's amendment (2024-0014s) was adopted on a voice vote on January 3, 2024, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2024-0575s), offered by Sen. Sharon Carson, was adopted on a voice vote on February 8, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On February 8, 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 2024-0014s and 2024-0575s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Terry Roy. 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 12, 2024, making it Chapter 177 of the session laws.
