The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Children and Family Law 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 held a work session on September 15, 2021. The committee voted unanimously, 15–0, 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 met in executive session on September 27, 2022 to vote on its recommendation. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “Recommended for Future Legislation”, by a vote of 10 to 0.
