The Story

It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 31, 2024, with 10 people signed in online: 8 in support and 2 in opposition. The committee held a work session on February 13, 2024. The committee met in executive session on February 14, 2024 and March 6, 2024. The committee held a work session on March 6, 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 (2024-0701h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 21, 2024, changing the text of the bill. On March 21, 2024 the House voted to kill it and bar the subject for the rest of the term on a roll call 164–162, on a motion by Rep. Joe Sweeney.
