The Story
It was introduced on January 4, 2023 and referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 6, 2023. The committee met in executive session on March 8, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a work session on March 8, 2023. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee met in executive session on November 1, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 13–0, to recommend that the House study it after the session ends, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 3, 2024 the House voted to study it after the session ends on a voice vote. The committee met in executive session on October 10, 2024 to vote on its recommendation. The committee reported back on its interim study of the bill: “Not Recommended for Future Legislation”, by a vote of 12 to 0.
