The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2023 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 24, 2023. The committee met in executive session on February 6, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The committee held a work session on February 13, 2023. The committee retained the bill, holding it for further work rather than reporting it out this year. The committee held work sessions on May 30, 2023, October 2, 2023, October 18, 2023 and October 31, 2023. The committee met in executive session on November 13, 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 pass it, by a vote of 12–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 3, 2024 the House adopted “Lay HB437 on Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Myler. The bill died on the table when the session ended on October 10, 2024, having been set aside and never taken back up.
