The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 2, 2024, with 284 people signed in online: 234 in support, 49 in opposition and 1 as neutral. The committee met in executive session on February 9, 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 (2024-0582h) was rejected on a division vote 158–173 on March 14, 2024. On March 14, 2024 the House failed “Reconsider Amendment 2024-0582h” on a division vote 178–193, on a motion by Rep. James Spillane. On March 14, 2024 the House rejected a motion to pass it on a roll call 181–190. On March 14, 2024 the House voted to lay it on the table on a division vote 186–185, on a motion by Rep. Hoell. The bill died on the table when the session ended on October 10, 2024, having been set aside and never taken back up.
