Where it stands
House: INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE
Every floor vote on this bill was a voice or division vote, so there is no record of how individual legislators voted.
A bill goes on the consent calendar when the committee vote was unanimous or nearly so, and any members who dissented did not object to placing it there. It then passes without floor debate. Ten members may file a petition to pull a bill off the consent calendar and have it debated and voted on separately.

Committee reports
Reproduced from the House Calendar in the committee’s own words.
Committee — INEXPEDIENT TO LEGISLATE
This bill contains an apparent technical error importing “all state and federal anti-discrimination laws,” not merely all education-applicable laws, and seems to strip existing protections and exemptions from religious institutions – freedoms guaranteed by our constitutions under religion and conscience. The committee unanimously affirms Inexpedient to Legislate on the basis that, as written, the bill would not accomplish the expressed purpose. Vote 17-0.
