The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the House Fish and Game and Marine Resources committee. The committee held a work session on January 25, 2022. The committee met in executive session on January 25, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0166h), and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 12–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 16, 2022 the House failed “Lay HB1356 on Table” on a division vote 156–182, on a motion by Rep. Amanda Bouldin. The committee's amendment (2022-0166h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 16, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On March 16, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 194–147. It crossed to the Senate on March 17, 2022 and was referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. The committee held public hearings on April 19, 2022 and April 26, 2022. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On May 5, 2022 the Senate voted to kill it on a voice vote.
