The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee met in executive session on September 28, 2021 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 19–1 to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 5, 2022 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
