The Story

It was introduced on January 19, 2023 and referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 31, 2023. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2023-1135s). On March 30, 2023 the Senate adopted “Special Order to the end of the Regular Calendar, Without Objection”. The committee's amendment (2023-1135s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 30, 2023, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2023-1264s), offered by Sen. Timothy Lang, was adopted on a voice vote on March 30, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On March 30, 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 April 6, 2023 and was referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 26, 2023. The committee met in executive session on May 10, 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 20, 2023. The committee met in executive session on November 8, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 19–0, to recommend that the House study it after the session ends, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 3, 2024 the House voted to study it after the session ends on a voice vote. The committee held a work session on September 11, 2024. The committee met in executive session on October 17, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “Not Recommended for Future Legislation”, by a vote of 15 to 0.
