The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs 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 October 6, 2021. The committee met in executive session on October 26, 2021 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 21–0, to recommend that the House study it after the session ends, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 5, 2022 the House voted to study it after the session ends on a voice vote. The committee held a work session on June 6, 2022. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “Recommended for Future Legislation”, by a vote of 17 to 0.
