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, 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 Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2024, with 2 people signed in online: 2 in support. The committee met in executive session on April 2, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-1397h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-1397h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 11, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On April 11, 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. 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 26, 2024, making it Chapter 308 of the session laws. It took effect on July 26, 2024.
