The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2025 and referred to the House Municipal and County Government committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 30, 2025, with 119 people signed in online: 113 in support and 6 in opposition. The committee held work sessions on February 19, 2025 and March 4, 2025. The committee met in executive session on March 10, 2025 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 11–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 27, 2025 the House adopted “Lay HB432 on Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Joe Sweeney. The bill died on the table when the session ended on December 17, 2025, having been set aside and never taken back up.
