The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 9, 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 2022-0895h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 13–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2022-0895h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 15, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On March 15, 2022 the House failed “Lay HB1476 on Table” on a roll call 161–168, on a motion by Rep. Ross Berry. On March 15, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 199–134. It crossed to the Senate on March 17, 2022 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 29, 2022. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2022-1686s). The committee's amendment (2022-1686s) was adopted on a voice vote on April 28, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On April 28, 2022 the Senate voted to pass it with changes, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it. A floor amendment (2022-1941s), offered by Sen. Bradley, 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 on a voice vote and ordered it to a third reading. On May 5, 2022 the House adopted “House Non-Concurs with Senate Amendment 2022-1941s 2022-1686s and Requests CofC (Reps. Abbas, Berry, Roy, Rhodes)” on a voice vote. On May 12, 2022 the Senate adopted “Accedes to House Request for Committee of Conference” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. A committee of conference met on May 18, 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 voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. 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.
