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 study it after the session ends, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 8, 2024 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Keith Murphy. On February 21, 2024 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Keith Murphy. On February 21, 2024 the Senate failed “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote. A floor amendment (2024-0815s), offered by Sen. Keith Murphy, was adopted on a voice vote on February 21, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On February 21, 2024 the Senate voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee voted 5–2 to recommend that the Senate pass it. On March 21, 2024 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 28, 2024 and was referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2024, with 3 people signed in online: 3 in support. 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 2024-1577h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-1577h) 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 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 signed it on July 26, 2024, making it Chapter 284 of the session laws. It took effect on September 24, 2024.
