The Story
It was introduced on January 9, 2025 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 19, 2025, with 8 people signed in online: 4 in support and 4 in opposition. The committee held work sessions on March 12, 2025 and March 18, 2025. The committee met in executive session on March 19, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2025-1084h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 14–2. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2025-1084h) 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 Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 6, 2025. The committee voted unanimously, 6–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 15, 2025 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. 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 July 7, 2025, making it Chapter 158 of the session laws.
