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 2024-0984s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-0984s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 21, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On March 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 March 28, 2024 and was referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 23, 2024, with 6 people signed in online: 5 in support and 1 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on April 30, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. A floor amendment (2024-1853h), offered by Rep. Lisa Post, was adopted on a division vote 184–173 on May 9, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On May 9, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 352–7. On May 30, 2024 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. On May 30, 2024 the House adopted “House Accedes to Senate Request for CofC” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Mark Pearson. The Senate adopted the conference report (2024-2216c) on a voice vote. On June 13, 2024 the House adopted the conference report (2024-2216c) on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 13, 2024 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor.
