The Story
Notice was given that an amendment (2022-0009s) would be proposed. It was introduced on January 5, 2022 and referred to the Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 10, 2022. The committee recommended that the Senate study it after the session ends. On February 16, 2022 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. James Gray. On February 16, 2022 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. James Gray. On February 16, 2022 the Senate again voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. James Gray. The bill died on the table under Senate Rule 3-23 at adjournment on September 15, 2022, having been set aside and never taken back up.
