The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2024, with 7 people signed in online: 7 in support. The committee met in executive session on February 14, 2024 and March 6, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-0693h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-0693h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 21, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On March 21, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 2024 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 8, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2024-2022s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-2022s) 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 2024-2022s” on a division vote 255–92, on a motion by Rep. Gregory Hill. The bill was enrolled on June 13, 2024 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2024-2348e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on August 2, 2024, making it Chapter 340 of the session laws.
