The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2024, with one person signed in online in opposition. The committee met in executive session on January 16, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 1, 2024 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 15, 2024 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 6, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 4–0, 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. The bill was enrolled on May 23, 2024 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 31, 2024, making it Chapter 33 of the session laws.
