The Story
It was introduced on January 7, 2026 and referred to the House Education Funding committee. The committee held a public hearing on January 22, 2026, with 10 people signed in online: 9 in support and 1 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 with changes (amendment 2026-0217h), by a vote of 9–8. The report was placed on the regular calendar. On February 12, 2026 the House adopted “Lay HB1701 on Table” on a division vote 203–155, on a motion by Rep. Rick Ladd. The bill died on the table when the session ended on August 19, 2026, having been set aside and never taken back up.
