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 March 3, 2021. The committee voted unanimously, 24–0, 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 Ways and Means 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. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. On April 22, 2021 the Senate adopted the motion that it ought to pass, but its third reading was left pending. On April 22, 2021 the Senate voted to lay it on the table, on a motion by Sen. Giuda. On June 3, 2021 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On June 3, 2021 the Senate adopted “Suspend the Rules to Rerefer HB 565 to the Committee on Health and Human Services and to allow the committee to take action on the bill, RC 21Y-2N”, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. On June 3, 2021 the Senate adopted “Rerefer to the Committee on Health and Human Services” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On June 10, 2021 the Senate adopted “Without Objection, Senate Rule 7-1 (g) is Suspended to Act on HB 565 after Deadline; 2/3 Necessary”. On June 10, 2021 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. James Gray. The bill died on the table under Senate Rule 3-23 at adjournment on June 24, 2021, having been set aside and never taken back up.
