The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 16, 2024. The committee voted 5–2 to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2024-0697s). The committee's amendment (2024-0697s) 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 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 Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2024, with one person signed in online in support. The committee held a work session on April 23, 2024. The committee met in executive session on May 14, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 21–4 to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. A floor amendment (2024-2135h), offered by Rep. David Luneau, was rejected on a roll call 177–185 on May 23, 2024. 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 155 of the session laws. It took effect on July 1, 2024.
