The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 10, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2024-0401s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-0401s) was adopted on a voice vote on February 8, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On February 8, 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 3, 2024, with one person signed in online in opposition. The committee held a work session on April 17, 2024. The committee met in executive session on April 23, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-1555h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-1555h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 2, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On May 2, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 30, 2024 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Howard Pearl. On June 13, 2024 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Howard Pearl. On June 13, 2024 the Senate adopted “Reconsider the vote on Nonconcur with the House Amendment” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Howard Pearl. The bill was enrolled on June 13, 2024 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2024-2358e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on August 23, 2024, making it Chapter 373 of the session laws.
