The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held public hearings on January 21, 2022 and February 11, 2022. The committee met in executive session on March 2, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0914h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 11–10. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2022-0914h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 15, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On March 15, 2022 the House voted to pass it on a roll call 172–162. It crossed to the Senate on March 17, 2022 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 19, 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 May 5, 2022 the Senate adopted “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote.
