The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on September 21, 2021 and October 12, 2021. The committee met in executive session on October 26, 2021 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 10–9. The report was placed on the regular calendar.
