The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2023 and referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 26, 2023. The committee met in executive session on February 16, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee recommended that the House make no recommendation. On March 23, 2023 the House voted to pass it on a division vote 204–179. It crossed to the Senate on March 23, 2023 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 11, 2023. The committee recommended that the Senate kill it. On May 18, 2023 the Senate rejected a motion to send it back to committee, on a motion by Sen. Soucy. On May 18, 2023 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Bill Gannon. The bill died on the table under Senate Rule 3-23 at adjournment on October 26, 2023, having been set aside and never taken back up.
