The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 17, 2024. The committee voted 4–1 to recommend that the Senate pass it. 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 Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 9, 2024, with 2 people signed in online: 1 in support and 1 in opposition. The committee held a work session on April 23, 2024. The committee met in executive session on April 23, 2024 and May 7, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-1796h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-1796h) 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. Timothy Lang. 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 310 of the session laws. It took effect on January 1, 2025.
