The Story

It was introduced on January 5, 2023 and referred to the House Education committee. The committee held public hearings on February 10, 2023 and February 16, 2023. The committee met in executive session on February 24, 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 May 30, 2023. The committee met in executive session on November 13, 2023 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2023-2425h), by a vote of 11–9. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On January 3, 2024 the House adopted “Lay HB651 on Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Cordelli. The bill died on the table when the session ended on October 10, 2024, having been set aside and never taken back up.
