The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the House Legislative Administration 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 October 19, 2021. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 9–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 6, 2022 the House voted to kill it on a division vote 183–162.
