The Story
It was introduced on January 9, 2025 and referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 19, 2025. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2025-0790s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2025-0790s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 20, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On March 20, 2025 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House on March 27, 2025 and was referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 23, 2025, with 5 people signed in online: 5 in support. The committee held a work session on May 7, 2025. The committee met in executive session on May 27, 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 June 5, 2025 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote.
