The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2023 and referred to the House Commerce and Consumer Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 1, 2023. The committee held a work session on March 7, 2023. The committee met in executive session on March 8, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held a work session on September 20, 2023. The committee met in executive session on November 8, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House study it after the session ends, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–9. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 3, 2024 the House rejected a motion to study it after the session ends on a roll call 182–193. On January 3, 2024 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
