The Story
It was introduced on January 7, 2026 and referred to the House Legislative Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2026, with 503 people signed in online: 501 in support, 1 in opposition and 1 as neutral. The committee met in executive session on January 29, 2026 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House kill it, and the minority recommended that the House study it after the session ends, by a vote of 8–3. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 5, 2026 the House adopted “Lay HB1114 on Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Gregory Hill. On March 11, 2026 the House failed “Remove from Table” on a division vote 123–207, on a motion by Rep. Alice Wade. The bill died on the table when the session ended on August 19, 2026, having been set aside and never taken back up.
