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 16, 2025, with 4 people signed in online: 2 in support and 2 in opposition. The committee held a work session on February 19, 2025. The committee met in executive session on February 19, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2025-0577h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2025-0577h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 20, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On March 20, 2025 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 20, 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, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2025-1983s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2025-1983s) 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 and ordered it to a third reading. On June 12, 2025 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2025-1983s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Carol McGuire. 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 July 15, 2025, making it Chapter 161 of the session laws.
