The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development 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 15, 2021. The committee met in executive session on October 27, 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 work sessions on June 22, 2022 and October 4, 2022. The committee met in executive session on October 19, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “Not Recommended for Future Legislation”, by a vote of 11 to 6.
