The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2025 and referred to the House Housing committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 21, 2025, with 296 people signed in online: 7 in support, 288 in opposition and 1 as neutral. The committee met in executive session on January 21, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. A floor amendment (2025-0254h), offered by Rep. Ellen Read, was rejected on a roll call 140–217 on February 6, 2025. A floor amendment (2025-0251h), offered by Rep. David Paige, was rejected on a roll call 145–212 on February 6, 2025. On February 6, 2025 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 217–139. It crossed to the Senate on March 6, 2025 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held public hearings on May 6, 2025 and May 13, 2025. The committee voted 4–2 to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2025-2153s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on May 22, 2025. On May 22, 2025 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 06/05/2025, Without Objection”. The committee voted 4–2 to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2025-2153s). On June 5, 2025 the Senate adopted “Without Objection, the Clerk is authorized to make technical and administrative corrections which are necessary to reflect the intent of the Senate”. The committee's amendment (2025-2153s) was rejected on a voice vote on June 5, 2025. A floor amendment (2025-2711s), offered by Sen. Keith Murphy, was adopted on a voice vote on June 5, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On June 5, 2025 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 5, 2025 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate Amendment 2025-2711s 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. Daniel Innis. 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 (2025-2801c) on a roll call 16–8. On June 26, 2025 the House adopted the conference report (2025-2801c) 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 263 of the session laws.
