The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2025 and referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 11, 2025. The committee voted unanimously, 6–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2025-0484s). The committee's amendment (2025-0484s) was adopted on a voice vote on March 6, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On March 6, 2025 the Senate adopted the motion that it ought to pass with an amendment on a voice vote, but its third reading was left pending. On March 6, 2025 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. James Gray. The bill died on the table under Senate Rule 3-23 on October 31, 2025, having been set aside and never taken back up.
