The Story

It was introduced on January 9, 2025 and referred to the House Resources, Recreation and Development committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 5, 2025, with 15 people signed in online: 12 in support and 3 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on February 12, 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 9–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 27, 2025 the House adopted “Lay HB568 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.
