The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Environment and Agriculture committee. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2021-0211h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 16–2. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2021-0211h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 24, 2021, changing the text of the bill. On February 24, 2021 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 214–141. On February 24, 2021 the bill was referred to the Ways and Means 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 7, 2021. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 5, 2022 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
