It was introduced on January 8, 2025 and referred to the House State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 31, 2025, with 144 people signed in online: 54 in support, 88 in opposition and 2 as neutral. The committee met in executive session on February 7, 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 10–7. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 26, 2025 the House adopted “Lay HCR3 on Table” on a division vote 267–76, on a motion by Rep. Michael Granger. The bill died on the table when the session ended on December 17, 2025, having been set aside and never taken back up.
