The Story

It was introduced on January 7, 2026 and referred to the House Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee. The committee held a public hearing on February 3, 2026, with 424 people signed in online: 407 in support and 17 in opposition. The committee met in executive session on February 10, 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 2026-0554h), by a vote of 11–9. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On March 5, 2026 the House adopted “Lay HB1484 on Table” on a roll call 180–153, on a motion by Rep. James Creighton. On March 12, 2026 the House failed “Remove from Table” on a roll call 159–183, on a motion by Rep. Nicholas Germana. The bill died on the table when the session ended on August 19, 2026, having been set aside and never taken back up.
