The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2025 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 23, 2025, with one person signed in online in support. The committee met in executive session on January 23, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2025-0845h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2025-0845h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 26, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On March 26, 2025 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 27, 2025 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 9, 2025. The committee voted unanimously, 4–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on April 17, 2025. A floor amendment (2025-1794s), offered by Sen. Howard Pearl, was adopted on a voice vote on May 1, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On May 1, 2025 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. The committee voted unanimously, 4–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it. On May 8, 2025 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2025-1794s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Carol McGuire. The bill was enrolled on June 12, 2025 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 23, 2025, making it Chapter 111 of the session laws.
