The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2025 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 4, 2025, with 61 people signed in online: 48 in support, 12 in opposition and 1 as neutral. The committee met in executive session on February 18, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it, and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 10–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 26, 2025 the House adopted “Lay HB147 on Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Sherri Reinfurt. The bill died on the table when the session ended on December 17, 2025, having been set aside and never taken back up.
