The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2023 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 9, 2023. The committee held a work session on February 17, 2023. The committee met in executive session on February 24, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on September 22, 2023. The committee met in executive session on November 15, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2023-2364h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-2364h) 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 21, 2024 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 26, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2024-1561s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-1561s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 2, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On May 2, 2024 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 30, 2024 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2024-1561s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Terry Roy. 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 180 of the session laws.
