The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee met in executive session on February 10, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 11–9. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 16, 2022 the House voted to pass it on a division vote 177–176. It crossed to the Senate on March 17, 2022 and was referred to the Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 11, 2022. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate study it after the session ends, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On April 28, 2022 the Senate adopted “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote.
