It was introduced on January 7, 2026 and referred to the House Education Policy and Administration committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 21, 2026, with 211 people signed in online: 205 in support and 6 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on January 22, 2026 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 10–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 5, 2026 the House adopted “Lay HB1264 on Table” on a roll call 186–165, on a motion by Rep. Kristin Noble.
