The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The House withdrew that referral and sent the bill to the Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee instead. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2021 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 7, 2021 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote. On April 7, 2021 the House failed “Reconsider” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Jason Osborne.
