The Story

It was introduced on January 8, 2025 and referred to the House Election Law committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 4, 2025, with 26 people signed in online: 12 in support, 13 in opposition and 1 as neutral. The committee met in executive session on February 11, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The committee voted unanimously, 18–0, to recommend that the House pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 6, 2025 the House voted to pass it on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 6, 2025 and was referred to the Senate Election Law and Municipal Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on April 1, 2025. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar.
