The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee met in executive session on March 11, 2021 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee met in executive session on October 14, 2021 and November 9, 2021. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2021-2239h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 11–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 6, 2022 the House voted to lay it on the table on a roll call 213–142, on a motion by Rep. Rick Ladd.
