The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2023 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 1, 2023. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2023-0665s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-0665s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 9, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On March 9, 2023 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 16, 2023 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 12, 2023. The committee held a work session on May 3, 2023. The committee met in executive session on May 24, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a work session on May 24, 2023. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee met in executive session on November 8, 2023 to vote on its recommendation.
