The Story

It was introduced on January 19, 2023 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 21, 2023. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On March 9, 2023 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 03/23/2023, Without Objection”. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. A floor amendment (2023-1186s), offered by Sen. Daryl Abbas, was adopted on a roll call 13–10 on March 23, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On March 23, 2023 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. On March 23, 2023 the Senate rejected a motion to send it back to committee on a voice vote. It crossed to the House on March 23, 2023 and was referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 25, 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 April 25, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a work session on September 26, 2023. The committee met in executive session on October 31, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 3, 2024 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
