The Story
It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety committee. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on September 28, 2021 and October 5, 2021. The committee met in executive session on October 20, 2021 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted 19–1 to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent 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 2, 2022. The committee met in executive session on June 2, 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 12 to 2.
