The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 2026 and referred to the House Housing committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 27, 2026, with 187 people signed in online: 13 in support and 174 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on March 3, 2026 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2026-0763h), and the minority recommended that the House kill it, by a vote of 9–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2026-0763h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 11, 2026, changing the text of the bill. On March 11, 2026 the House failed “Lay HB1336 on Table” on a roll call 157–177, on a motion by Rep. David Paige. A floor amendment (2026-1100h) was adopted on a voice vote on March 11, 2026, changing the text of the bill. On March 11, 2026 the House voted to pass it with changes on a voice vote. It crossed to the Senate on March 12, 2026 and was referred to the Senate Commerce committee. The committee held a public hearing on March 31, 2026. The committee voted 3–2 to recommend that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2026-1724s). On May 7, 2026 the Senate voted to lay it on the table on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Keith Murphy. On May 14, 2026 the Senate adopted “Remove From Table” on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Timothy Lang. The committee's amendment (2026-1724s) was adopted on a roll call 14–9 on May 14, 2026, changing the text of the bill. On May 14, 2026 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. On May 21, 2026 the House adopted “House Concurs with Senate Amendment 2026-1724s” on a roll call 180–162, on a motion by Rep. Alexander Jr. The bill was enrolled on June 4, 2026 — the final check of the text before it goes to the governor. The governor vetoed it on July 2, 2026. The legislature can override a veto with a two-thirds vote in both chambers. On August 19, 2026 the House voted 159–155 on overriding the governor's veto on a roll call, and the veto was sustained, failing to meet the two thirds threshold.
