The Story

It was introduced on January 4, 2023 and referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 20, 2023. The committee met in executive session on February 3, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On February 14, 2023 the House adopted “Lay HCR3 on Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Joe Sweeney. The bill died on the table when the session ended on October 26, 2023, having been set aside and never taken back up.
