The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee met in executive session on March 2, 2021 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2021-0155h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 16–4. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2021-0155h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 8, 2021, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2021-1097h), offered by Rep. Yokela, was rejected on a voice vote on April 8, 2021. On April 8, 2021 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 327–12. It crossed to the Senate on April 8, 2021 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee.
