The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On March 18, 2021 the Senate rejected a motion to kill it. On March 18, 2021 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 03/25/2021, RC 24Y-0N”, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. A floor amendment (2021-1014s), offered by Sen. Bill Gannon, was adopted on a roll call 24–0 on March 25, 2021, changing the text of the bill. On March 25, 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 committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On June 3, 2021 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
