The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a work session on February 10, 2021. The committee voted unanimously, 23–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 24, 2021 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 4, 2021 and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
