The Story
It was introduced on January 3, 2024 and referred to the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 10, 2024, with 2 people signed in online: 2 in support. The committee met in executive session on January 18, 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 (2024-0191h) was adopted on a voice vote on February 8, 2024, changing the text of the bill.
