The committee met in executive session on February 19, 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 8–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 13, 2025 the House adopted “Lay HB 536 on Table” on a division vote 185–177, on a motion by Rep. Jason Osborne.
