The Story

It was introduced on January 18, 2024 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 14, 2024. The committee held a public hearing on February 21, 2024 on a proposed non-germane amendment (2024-0687s). The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2024-1000s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-1000s) 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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2024, with 9 people signed in online: 8 in support and 1 in opposition. The committee held a work session on April 30, 2024. The committee met in executive session on May 8, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-1737h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2024-1737h) 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. Howard Pearl.
