The Story
It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee met in executive session on March 8, 2021 and March 10, 2021. 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 6, 2021 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 19–1 to recommend that the House study it after the session ends, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 6, 2022 the House voted to study it after the session ends on a voice vote. The committee held a work session on June 16, 2022. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “Not Recommended for Future Legislation”, by a vote of 15 to 0.
