The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2023 and referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 26, 2023. The committee met in executive session on February 16, 2023 and March 15, 2023. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on June 23, 2023. The committee met in executive session on November 2, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 19–1 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2023-2404), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-2404h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 3, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On January 3, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 15, 2024 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 26, 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 May 30, 2024 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 14, 2024, making it Chapter 45 of the session laws.
