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 37 people signed in online: 8 in support, 28 in opposition and 1 as neutral. The committee met in executive session on February 20, 2024 and March 5, 2024. 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 (2024-0894h) was adopted on a roll call 191–183 on March 14, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On March 14, 2024 the House failed “Lay HB1348 on Table” on a roll call 184–190, on a motion by Rep. Connie Lane. On March 14, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 191–183. It crossed to the Senate on March 21, 2024 and was referred to the Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on May 7, 2024. The committee voted 4–1 to recommend that the Senate study it after the session ends. On May 22, 2024 the Senate adopted “Refer to Interim Study” on a voice vote.
