The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. It crossed to the Senate on April 1, 2021 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. On April 7, 2021 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. On April 7, 2021 the House failed “Reconsider” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Jason Osborne.
