The Story
It was introduced on January 8, 2025 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2025, with 5 people signed in online: 5 in support. The committee met in executive session on January 27, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2025-0069h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2025-0069h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 6, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On February 6, 2025 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 6, 2025 and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 2, 2025. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2025-1848s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on May 8, 2025. On May 8, 2025 the Senate adopted “Special Order to Next Session, Without Objection”. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2025-1848s). The committee's amendment (2025-1848s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 15, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On May 15, 2025 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee voted unanimously, 7–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 22, 2025 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 5, 2025 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate Amendment #2025-1848s and Requests CofC” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Jim Kofalt. On June 5, 2025 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Timothy Lang. A committee of conference met on June 17, 2025 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On June 26, 2025 the Senate adopted the conference report (2025-2792c) on a voice vote. On June 26, 2025 the House adopted the conference report (2025-2792c) on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 26, 2025 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on August 1, 2025, making it Chapter 274 of the session laws.
