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 22, 2021, October 5, 2021, October 12, 2021 and October 19, 2021. The committee met in executive session on October 20, 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 12–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 6, 2022 the House voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Abbas.
