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 334 people signed in online: 13 in support, 320 in opposition and 1 as neutral. The committee met in executive session on March 6, 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 (2024-0978h) was rejected on a division vote 169–178 on March 21, 2024. On March 21, 2024 the House adopted “Lay HB1353 on Table” on a division vote 292–58, on a motion by Rep. Joe Sweeney. On March 28, 2024 the House failed “Remove from Table” on a division vote 183–194, on a motion by Rep. Katelyn Kuttab. The bill died on the table when the session ended on October 10, 2024, having been set aside and never taken back up.
