The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a work session on March 3, 2021. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on September 7, 2021, September 14, 2021 and September 28, 2021. The committee voted 21–3 to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2021-2123h), and the report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2021-2123h) was adopted on a voice vote on January 6, 2022, changing the text of the bill. On January 6, 2022 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate and was referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 24, 2022 the Senate voted to kill it on a voice vote.
