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 6, 2024, with 24 people signed in online: 23 in support and 1 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on February 13, 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 (2024-0638h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 21, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On March 21, 2024 the House voted to kill it and bar the subject for the rest of the term on a division vote 187–186, on a motion by Rep. Ross Berry.
