The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 14, 2024, with 170 people signed in online: 10 in support and 160 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on March 6, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 12–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 21, 2024 the House rejected a motion to kill it on a division vote 182–191. On March 21, 2024 the House voted to pass it on a division vote 194–180. On March 21, 2024 the House failed “Reconsider HB1115” on a division vote 179–195, on a motion by Rep. Joe Sweeney. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 2024 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 9, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate study it after the session ends, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 2, 2024 the Senate adopted “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote.
