The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2021-0761s), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2021-0761s) was adopted on a roll call 23–1 on March 18, 2021, changing the text of the bill. On March 18, 2021 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 16–5. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On June 3, 2021 the House voted to lay it on the table on a division vote 210–158, on a motion by Rep. Abbas. The bill died on the table when the session ended on January 5, 2022, having been set aside and never taken back up.
