The Story
It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Executive Departments and Administration committee. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on September 7, 2021. The committee met in executive session on October 25, 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 15–3. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 6, 2022 the House voted to lay it on the table on a division vote 229–118, on a motion by Rep. McGuire.
