The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 25, 2022. The committee met in executive session on March 7, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0991h), by a vote of 14–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 15, 2022 the House rejected a motion to kill it on a roll call 171–172. On March 16, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. On March 16, 2022 the House failed “Lay HB1044 on Table” on a roll call 166–179, on a motion by Rep. Lucy Weber. The committee minority's amendment (2022-0991h) was adopted on a roll call 334–10 on March 16, 2022, changing the text of the bill. It crossed to the Senate on March 17, 2022 and was referred to the Senate Health and Human Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 30, 2022. The committee recommended that the Senate study it after the session ends. On April 21, 2022 the Senate adopted “Refer to Interim Study, RC 20Y-4N”.
