The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2024, with 13 people signed in online: 2 in support and 11 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on February 15, 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 (2024-0901h), offered by Rep. Bob Lynn, was adopted on a voice vote on March 7, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On March 7, 2024 the House voted to pass it with changes on a roll call 188–166. On March 7, 2024 the House failed “Reconsider HB1412” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Joe Sweeney. It crossed to the Senate on March 7, 2024 and was referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 26, 2024. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On May 2, 2024 the Senate voted to kill it on a voice vote.
