The Story

It was introduced on January 19, 2023 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 8, 2023. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate send it back to committee, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 22, 2023 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote. The committee voted 4–1 to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2023-2475s). The committee's amendment (2023-2475s) was adopted on a voice vote on January 3, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On January 3, 2024 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 February 22, 2024 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2024, with one person signed in online in support. The committee met in executive session on April 10, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 2, 2024 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 23, 2024 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on May 31, 2024, making it Chapter 34 of the session laws. It took effect on May 31, 2024.
