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 March 12, 2025. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 27, 2025 the Senate voted to pass it 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 Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2025. The committee held a public hearing on April 17, 2025 on a proposed non-germane amendment (2025-1548h). The committee met in executive session on April 17, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2025-1548h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2025-1548h) was adopted on a voice vote on May 1, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On May 1, 2025 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On May 8, 2025 the Senate voted to agree to the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. David Rochefort. The bill was enrolled on June 5, 2025 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on June 17, 2025, making it Chapter 104 of the session laws. It took effect on August 16, 2025.
