The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 6, 2024, with 2,867 people signed in online: 1,140 in support, 1,725 in opposition and 2 as neutral. The committee met in executive session on March 13, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2024-1085h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 13–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 28, 2024 the House adopted “Lay HB1390 on Table” on a division vote 190–178, on a motion by Rep. Joe Sweeney. On March 28, 2024 the House failed “Remove from Table” on a division vote 165–188, on a motion by Rep. Wolf. The bill died on the table when the session ended on October 10, 2024, having been set aside and never taken back up.
