The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2025 and referred to the Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 11, 2025. The committee voted unanimously, 4–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2025-0545s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 6, 2025. The committee's amendment (2025-0545s) was rejected on a voice vote on March 6, 2025. A floor amendment (2025-0602s), offered by Sen. James Gray, was adopted on a voice vote on March 6, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On March 6, 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 Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 28, 2025, with 5 people signed in online: 4 in support and 1 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on April 28, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 8, 2025 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
