The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 25, 2024, with 33 people signed in online: 32 in support and 1 in opposition. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-0277h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee met in executive session on January 30, 2024 and January 31, 2024. The committee's amendment (2024-0277h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 8, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On February 8, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 21, 2024 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 28, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 2, 2024 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote 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 — and an enrolled bill amendment (2024-2199e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on August 2, 2024, making it Chapter 348 of the session laws.
