The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 4, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it. On February 15, 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 Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2024, with 5 people signed in online: 4 in support and 1 in opposition. The committee held a work session on May 8, 2024. The committee met in executive session on May 14, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a public hearing on May 14, 2024 on a proposed non-germane amendment (2024-1865h), with 4 people signed in online: 2 in support and 2 in opposition. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-1865h), and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 11–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On May 23, 2024 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 13, 2024 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 3, 2024, making it Chapter 148 of the session laws.
