The Story
It was introduced on January 5, 2023 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 31, 2023. The committee met in executive session on February 7, 2023 and March 15, 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 October 31, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 20–0, to recommend that the House kill it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On January 3, 2024 the House voted to kill it on a voice vote.
