The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The committee held a work session on February 2, 2022. The committee met in executive session on February 2, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 9–8 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0270h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 17, 2022 the House failed “Lay HB1170 on Table” on a division vote 157–186, on a motion by Rep. T. Smith. The committee's amendment (2022-0270h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 17, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On March 17, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 173–162. 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 18, 2022. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On April 28, 2022 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. The bill died on the table under Senate Rule 3-23 at adjournment on September 15, 2022, having been set aside and never taken back up.
