The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee met in executive session on March 4, 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 16, 2021. The committee met in executive session on September 23, 2021 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 11–9. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 6, 2022 the House voted to lay it on the table on a division vote 191–158, on a motion by Rep. Brian Seaworth.
