The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 25, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 7, 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 7, 2024 and was referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 24, 2024, with one person signed in online in support. The committee held a work session on May 8, 2024. The committee met in executive session on May 15, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-1896h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-1896h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 23, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On May 23, 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. Sharon Carson.
