The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Special Committee on Childcare committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 7, 2024, with 7 people signed in online: 6 in support and 1 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on February 21, 2024 and March 6, 2024. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 5–4. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 21, 2024 the House rejected a motion to kill it on a division vote 159–167. On March 21, 2024 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On March 21, 2024 the House failed “Reconsider HB1584” on a division vote 159–167, on a motion by Rep. Joe Sweeney. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 2024 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 8, 2024. The committee voted 3–2 to recommend that the Senate pass it. On May 22, 2024 the Senate voted to pass it and ordered it to a third reading. 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 203 of the session laws.
