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 17, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 8, 2024 the Senate voted to pass it 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 7 people signed in online: 7 in support. The committee held a public hearing on April 10, 2024 on a proposed non-germane amendment (2024-1429h). The committee held a work session on April 30, 2024. The committee met in executive session on May 8, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-1780h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-1780h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 23, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On May 23, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 30, 2024 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes 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. The governor vetoed it on July 26, 2024. The legislature can override a veto with a two-thirds vote in both chambers. On October 10, 2024 the Senate voted 0–23 on overriding the governor's veto on a roll call, and the veto was sustained, failing to meet the two thirds threshold.
