The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee met in executive session on February 18, 2021 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2021-0553h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2021-0553h) was adopted on a voice vote on April 9, 2021, changing the text of the bill. On April 9, 2021 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 193–181. It crossed to the Senate and was referred to the Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 6, 2021 the Senate voted to kill it.
