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 12, 2026, with 17 people signed in online: 16 in support and 1 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 2026-0414h), by a vote of 11–8.
