It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2021-0608h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 11–10. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On April 8, 2021 the House voted to lay it on the table on a division vote 352–3, on a motion by Rep. Cannon. The bill died on the table when the session ended on January 5, 2022, having been set aside and never taken back up.
