The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the House Children and Family Law committee. The committee held public hearings on January 25, 2022, February 8, 2022 and February 9, 2022. The committee met in executive session on March 1, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2022-0881h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 8–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2022-0881h) 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 with changes on a roll call 181–157. 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 5, 2022. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1670s). The committee's amendment (2022-1670s) was adopted on a roll call 13–11 on April 28, 2022, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2022-1881s), offered by Sen. Sharon Carson, was adopted on a voice vote on April 28, 2022, changing the text of the bill. A floor amendment (2022-1862s), offered by Sen. Kahn, was rejected on a roll call 12–12 on April 28, 2022. On April 28, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (2022-1943s), offered by Sen. Sharon Carson, was adopted on a voice vote on May 5, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On May 5, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. On May 5, 2022 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate Amendment 2022-1943s 2022-1881s 2022-1670s and Requests CofC (Reps. Rice, DeSimone, J. Nelson, D. Smith)” on a voice vote. On May 12, 2022 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference, RC 13Y-10N”, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. A committee of conference met on May 17, 2022 and May 19, 2022 to try to settle the differences between the two chambers' versions of the bill. On May 26, 2022 the Senate adopted the conference report (2022-2085c) on a roll call 14–10. On May 26, 2022 the House failed “Lay HB1431 on Table” on a roll call 169–173, on a motion by Rep. Wolf.
