The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 18, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2024-0861s). The committee's amendment (2024-0861s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 7, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On March 7, 2024 the Senate adopted the motion that it ought to pass with an amendment on a voice vote, but its third reading was left pending. On March 7, 2024 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. The bill died on the table under Senate Rule 3-23 at adjournment on October 10, 2024, having been set aside and never taken back up.
