The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 23, 2024. The committee voted 4–1 to recommend that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (2024-0975s), offered by Sen. Sharon Carson, was adopted on a voice vote on March 7, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On March 7, 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 March 7, 2024 and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 20, 2024, with 4 people signed in online: 3 in support and 1 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on March 20, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 12–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 11, 2024 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on May 30, 2024 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 14, 2024, making it Chapter 82 of the session laws. It took effect on June 14, 2024.
