The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2025 and referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 19, 2025, with 11 people signed in online: 10 in support and 1 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on March 12, 2025 and March 19, 2025. The committee voted unanimously, 10–0, to recommend that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2025-0732h), and the report was placed on the consent calendar. The committee's amendment (2025-0732h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 26, 2025, changing the text of the bill. On March 26, 2025 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 27, 2025 and was referred to the Senate Executive Departments and Administration committee. The Senate withdrew that referral and sent the bill to the Election Law and Municipal Affairs committee instead. The committee held a public hearing on May 6, 2025. The committee voted unanimously, 4–0, to recommend that the Senate kill it. On May 15, 2025 the Senate voted to kill it on a voice vote.
