The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2023 and referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 3, 2023. The committee met in executive session on February 3, 2023 and February 10, 2023. The committee voted unanimously, 16–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2023-0452h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2023-0452h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 22, 2023, changing the text of the bill. On February 22, 2023 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on February 22, 2023 and was referred to the Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 4, 2023. The committee recommended that the Senate send it back to committee. On May 11, 2023 the Senate 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 October 26, 2023, having been set aside and never taken back up.
