The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 2024, with 2 people signed in online: 2 in opposition. The committee held work sessions on February 13, 2024, February 21, 2024 and March 6, 2024. The committee met in executive session on March 13, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-0840h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-0840h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 28, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On March 28, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 16, 2024. On May 15, 2024 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. 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 (2024-2253e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on July 3, 2024, making it Chapter 141 of the session laws.
