The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 1, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2024-0819s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-0819s) 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 Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 29, 2024, with 4 people signed in online: 2 in support and 2 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on March 29, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 2, 2024 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote.
