The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the Senate Judiciary 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 Judiciary committee. The committee met in executive session on May 4, 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 met in executive session on September 28, 2021 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, 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.
