The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 4, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 6–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (2024-0092s), offered by Sen. Howard Pearl, was adopted on a voice vote on January 18, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On January 18, 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 and was referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 20, 2024, with 2 people signed in online: 2 in support. The committee met in executive session on February 20, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a work session on February 20, 2024. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 20–2. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 14, 2024 the House voted to pass it on a division vote 213–136. The bill was enrolled on March 28, 2024 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on April 12, 2024, making it Chapter 7 of the session laws. It took effect on April 12, 2024.
