The Story
It was introduced on January 7, 2026 and referred to the Senate Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 13, 2026. The committee voted 4–1 to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2026-0200s). The committee's amendment (2026-0200s) was adopted on a voice vote on January 29, 2026, changing the text of the bill. On January 29, 2026 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 February 19, 2026 and was referred to the House Finance committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 13, 2026, with 4 people signed in online: 4 in support. The committee held a work session on April 20, 2026. The committee met in executive session on April 27, 2026 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2026-1503h), and the minority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2026-1511h), by a vote of 13–11. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2026-1503h) was adopted on a division vote 186–158 on May 7, 2026, changing the text of the bill. On May 7, 2026 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 186–157. On May 7, 2026 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. James Gray. On May 14, 2026 the House adopted “House Accedes to Senate Request for CofC” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Kenneth Weyler. On June 4, 2026 the House adopted the conference report (2026-2029c) on a roll call 189–158. On June 4, 2026 the Senate adopted the conference report (2026-2029c) on a voice vote. The bill was enrolled on June 4, 2026 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor vetoed it on July 10, 2026. The legislature can override a veto with a two-thirds vote in both chambers. On August 19, 2026 the Senate voted 0–24 on overriding the governor's veto on a roll call, and the veto was sustained, failing to meet the two thirds threshold.
