The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the Senate Ways and Means committee. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 18, 2021 the Senate voted to pass it and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a work session on May 4, 2021. The committee met in executive session on May 11, 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 work sessions on September 7, 2021, September 14, 2021 and September 28, 2021. The committee voted 21–3 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.
