The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 29, 2024, with 72 people signed in online: 65 in support and 7 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on February 13, 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 (2024-0666h) was adopted on a division vote 178–176 on March 7, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On March 7, 2024 the House rejected a motion to pass it with changes on a roll call 176–190. On March 7, 2024 the House voted to kill it and bar the subject for the rest of the term on a division vote 193–173, on a motion by Rep. Joe Sweeney.
