The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 13, 2024, with 43 people signed in online: 37 in support and 6 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on February 20, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee recommended, on a tied vote of 10–10, which carries no majority, that the House make no recommendation, and the report was placed on the regular calendar. A floor amendment (2024-1196h), offered by Rep. Diane Pauer, was adopted on a division vote 187–186 on March 21, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On March 21, 2024 the House rejected a motion to pass it with changes on a division vote 185–188. On March 21, 2024 the House adopted “Lay HB1099 on Table” on a division vote 188–186, on a motion by Rep. Joe Sweeney. The bill died on the table when the session ended on October 10, 2024, having been set aside and never taken back up.
