The bill passed the House on May 13, 2026, by a vote of 57 to 49 with 4 members not voting, and was given immediate effect. It was then referred to the Senate Committee on Appropriations before passing that chamber with immediate effect on May 19, 2026. The bill is tied to HB 5330 of the 2025 session.
