The Story
It was introduced on January 9, 2025 and referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 28, 2025. The committee voted unanimously, 6–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it, and the report was placed on the consent calendar. On March 6, 2025 the Senate voted to pass it on a voice vote, then referred it on to the Senate Finance committee. The committee voted unanimously, 5–0, to recommend that the Senate pass it. On March 20, 2025 the Senate adopted the motion that it ought to pass on a voice vote, but its third reading was left pending. On March 20, 2025 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. James Gray.
