The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2025 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 2025, with 6 people signed in online: 2 in support, 3 in opposition and 1 as neutral. The committee met in executive session on February 5, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 20, 2025 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On February 20, 2025 the bill was referred to the Finance committee. The committee held a work session on March 5, 2025. The committee met in executive session on March 17, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 25–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 10, 2025 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate and was referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 22, 2025. The committee voted unanimously, 7–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2025-2232s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2025-2232s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 22, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On May 22, 2025 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On June 12, 2025 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2025-2232s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. John Janigian. The bill was enrolled on June 26, 2025 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor — and an enrolled bill amendment (2025-2911e) was adopted on a voice vote to correct technical errors found after passage. The governor signed it on August 1, 2025, making it Chapter 283 of the session laws.
