The Story
It was introduced on February 13, 2025 and referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 19, 2025. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2025-1147s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The bill was taken off the consent calendar on March 27, 2025. On March 27, 2025 the Senate voted to send it back to committee on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Howard Pearl. The committee held a public hearing on December 2, 2025 on a proposed non-germane amendment (2025-3102s). The committee held a public hearing on December 3, 2025 on a proposed non-germane amendment (2025-3102s). The committee voted unanimously, 4–0, to recommend that the Senate study it after the session ends, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 7, 2026 the Senate adopted “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote.
