The Story
It was introduced on January 7, 2026 and referred to the House Ways and Means committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 14, 2026, with 7 people signed in online: 7 in opposition. The committee held a work session on January 28, 2026. The committee met in executive session on January 28, 2026 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2026-0236h), by a vote of 13–6. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 5, 2026 the House adopted “Lay HB1063 on Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Lisa Mazur. The bill died on the table when the session ended on August 19, 2026, having been set aside and never taken back up.
