The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 2026 and referred to the House Housing committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 10, 2026, with 4 people signed in online: 2 in support and 2 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2026 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 17–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 11, 2026 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 12, 2026 and was referred to the Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 14, 2026. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2026-1597s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2026-1597s) was adopted on a voice vote on May 7, 2026, changing the text of the bill. On May 7, 2026 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 21, 2026 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2026-1597s” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Alexander Jr. The bill was enrolled on June 4, 2026 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor signed it on July 2, 2026, making it Chapter 207 of the session laws.
